Have the students stand in a circle. Give the ball to one person and the beanbag to another student across the circle, then start the music. The students need to pass the ball and beanbag clockwise until the music stops. When the music stops, pull out a slip of paper and read it. If the paper states "before the ball" or "before the beanbag" that student is out.
If the slip states "after the ball or beanbag" that student is out. If it just states "ball or beanbag" the student holding the ball or beanbag is out. You can also try to substitute different objects. Anything safe, small, and easy to pass will do!
Number the corners of the classroom from 1 to 4. Select one student to be "It. When all the students are situated in a corner, It calls out a number. All the kids standing in the corner with that number are out and must go back to their seats and sit down. It closes his eyes again, calls out a number, and more students sit down.
When the game gets down to four people or fewer, each must choose a different corner. If It calls out a corner where nobody is standing, It must choose again. The game continues until only one student is left. That student becomes It. Children can sit in circle or throughout the room as long as everyone can see each other. Identify one child as the "smile tosser". All children are to keep a straight, serious face while the smile tosser smiles. The smile tosser will smile at all players trying to get them to crack a smile or laugh.
If anyone smiles or laughs, they are out of the game. Those out of the game must be absolutely quiet during the rest of the game. The smile tosser can wipe off his smile with his hand and throw it to another player if he wishes. The receiving player will put on the smile and be the new smile tosser. You can even set a time limit on how long your smile tosser is allowed to keep his role.
This game is great to use at the beginning of the school year to help the students get to know each other. Have the students go around the room searching for other students to fit into the appropriate categories on the "Who Are You?
When they find a match, they can have the student initial the game sheet. Have a long list of math problems ready.
Divide the classroom into 2 teams. Draw a big baseball diamond on the board. Choose which team is to be first up by tossing a coin, picking a number, etc. Have the team "up to bat" first line up and get ready to answer problems.
The pitching team begins by "pitching" a math problem to the "batting" team. The first child "up to bat" tries to answer the problem. When the batting team gets three outs, the teams switch places. Play until the designated score is reached. A learning game that will children in early grades learn money combinations. Have each group of students start out with 10 dimes, 6 nickels, and 15 pennies. The first player rolls the die. Depending on the number that comes up, from , he will take that many coins.
If he rolls a six, for example, he can take six pennies, but then he has to exchange 5 pennies for a nickel. After a few exchanges, the student will learn to pick a nickel and one penny. The next player will do the same and take the allotted amount. On the player's next turn, she takes the allotted coins, but if she ends up with five pennies, she should exchange them for a nickel. If she has two nickels, she has to exchange them for one dime.
When all the dimes are gone, the game is over and all players count out their change. The person with the highest number wins. For the next level of learning money combinations add 10 quarters and then add dollar bills.
Write the alphabet on the blackboard in scrambled form, low enough that the students can reach. Divide the class into 2 teams and have the teams line up.
Call out a letter. Have the first person in each team try to find the letter on the board and circle it. The first person done is the winner, and that team gets a point. To make things harder mix capitol and small letters.
For an even harder game, break the class into four teams and have them all looking for the same letter.
This game can be played with letters also! See our additional page of Math Games. Have the children sit in a circle and give each a card with a town name. Have one child be the "station master".
The station master then calls out town names at random. For example, she might say, "Springfield, Holbrook". The two children holding cards that say Springfield and Holbrook then have to get up and exchange seats.
In the meantime, the station master has to try to jump into one of these seats. More than two destinations can be called out and the ultimate "All Change" when everyone has to change seats is a great laugh. The child left standing then takes over the roll as station master.
You need a nerf ball or very soft ball. Have students sit on desks and toss the ball around. If any students talk, they are "out" and must sit down. If any students drop the ball, throw it so it is uncatchable, or interfere with a throw or a catch, they are out and must sit down.
If any students drop a catchable ball, they are also out. Soon, all but 1 student is left as the winner. Pick one student to be "it. You need a closet, cabinet, or wall that a student can "hide" behind and not be seen by the person in the chair.
You quietly point to a student to "hide. The rest of the students change desks. At 10, all must sit down. Ask the person who is "it" to turn around and guess who is missing.
If he guesses right, he can continue to be the "guesser". The person who was hidden picks the next hider. If he guesses wrong, he picks the next student to hide then sits down. You can decide on a maximum number of right guesses allowed so a good guesser does not remain guesser for too long.
Form groups of about five to ten students and give the following instructions: "You will be stranded on a deserted island for an indefinite amount of time. You may only bring one item to the island, and you only have a few minutes notice. What will you bring? A fun or challenging activity can keep them focused on what you are saying.
