- The Freeze This is a fun and simple activity to use frequently. With upbeat music, get everyone dancing and wiggling freestyle. At various intervals, pause the music. Everyone must freeze in a very silly pose; the sillier the better! After a good laugh, turn the music back on and continue.
- I See… Arrange the children in scatter formation. You begin by saying, "I see!" The class responds by saying, "What do you see?" You say, "I see children hopping." The children hop in place until you again say "I see!" and the game continues. Suggestions: horses galloping, children skipping, children jumping, children running fast, clowns marching or children chopping wood.
- Monkey See, Monkey Do This is a game for 3 or more players. But the more players you have, the more fun it is to play! To play, one player is the guesser, one the monkey and the rest follow the monkey. Decide which player will be the guesser. That player leaves the room. While the guesser is out of the room, the rest of the players then decide who will be the monkey. The other players have to do whatever the monkey does. If she scratches her head, the rest of the players have to scratch their heads. The guesser tries to figure out who is the monkey. The monkey should try not to get caught changing the action. If the monkey gets caught, then she becomes the next guesser.
