Students move in a circle, the person who is “it” points to a person, that person makes an animal noise, and “it” tries to guess what the animal is.

Students get in pairs and try to pop a balloon using their bodies (no hands or feet).

Committee Ball
This is a version of softball where the goal is to enable the batter hit the ball—there are no strikes.

This is a stretching activity.

This is a tag game where the players wear a bean bag on their shoulders and the players try to knock off others’ bean bags.

Students get in a circle, holding hands, and try to pass around a hula hoop.

As a chair is removed, no student is eliminated. Everyone sits/shares the remaining chairs.

When students are blindfolded, they try to put a piece of tape on a mark on the floor.

Students take a “mental” picture of the game experience and describe it to others.

Sitting in a circle, students pass a tin can around with their feet.

When tagged, students freeze; when non-tagged students pass underneath the legs of frozen students, they become unfrozen.

To download more games individually, go to the Pre K and K page. All of those games will also work for First Grade.
