Two seats removed so there are two short
for the entire group.
Leader calls “switch” and students scramble for
a chair and everyone moves to new seat.
Students left without a seat wait for next call.
Repeat.
(Students are given opportunity to call “switch”
as well.)
(Use Nerf ball, gator skin ball, or lightweight
ball.)
No one can make a sound…that’s the object of game.
Make a good throw around the room …can’t throw back
to person who threw to you.
If you miss the ball or make a bad pass, you are out and must
sit at your desk.
Play until all students are seated.
Last two are champs!
Everyone lies on the floor on back…totally
still…can’t move a muscle.
Leader is “it” or picks three students to be “it.”
Leader walks around and tries to make students laugh or move
in any way. If they move in any way, they are out of the game
and must return to their seats.
All students are in a circle.
One student goes into the hallway where he or she can’t
see rest of class.
Teacher picks a student and makes him/her leader.
The leader makes movements or rhythms that other students
mimic immediately so child in hall will not be able to identify
the leader when he/she returns to the classroom. Similar to
follow the leader, e.g., slap leg, touch nose, wiggle, etc.
Teacher prepares stack of index cards with
letters similar to that of a scrabble game (with or without
points).
Divide group into four teams.
Push desks to side of room.
Get four scooters from P.E. teacher so each team has one scooter.
Teacher throws all cards up in the middle of the room.
Student scoots to pile and takes card and brings it back to
his/her team. Next team goes…and so on.
Teacher gives students five minutes to come up with as many
words as they can.
For groups of 3 or 4.
Write a bunch of different names of animals on paper.
There is one name per folded up piece of paper.
Put names in hat.
Each group picks a name and figures out how to present their
charades.
Playing music with this game makes it lots of fun.
Option: After animal charades, ask entire group to choreograph
a dance that includes all the animals.
Present dance as a performance for others.
Everyone has a partner.
Teacher shouts out body parts (head to head, knee to knee,
foot to foot, etc.) Partners connect.
When teacher shouts out Busy Bee, students must find a new
partner.
Put music on and students dance.
Stop music and students FREEZE.
Play any music and lower the stick!
Leader selects seven students.
Students put heads on desk and close eyes tightly.
Students at desks put one thumb up.
The seven students at the front of the class go around and
quietly push one thumb down.
Then 7-up is called and the students lift their heads.
The seven at the front of the room stand there while each
student touched tries to identify who it was that pushed their
thumb down.
If student is not identified correctly as pushing a particular
student’s thumb down, he/she remains at front of class.
Game repeats.
For groups of six.
Each group makes up a portion of a routine.
One group may do kicks, another may do grapevine, another
slide or step-together-step.
All groups come together and teach each of their steps.
Put music on and do entire dance/workout. |
