STAND UP, SIT DOWN
- The kids can start out in a standing or sitting position.
- Ask them questions, such as "do you have a sister?" or "are you wearing pink?"
- If their answer is "Yes," they change to the other position.
- If "No," then they stay the same.
Earth Ball
- The group task is to keep a beach ball or balloon in the air for a specified number of hits without letting it hit the ground.
- Additionally, no one person can touch the object twice in a row.
- Set a goal with the group for the number of hits that the group can make following the rules.
- After your group meets its goal, it can increase the target number or go for a "world record" and see how many hits the group can accomplish.
- This fun activity is much harder than it seems! If the group is struggling, give them an opportunity to review their strategy and create a plan for the next attempt.
BACK-TO-BACK DRAWING
Working in pairs, one person must describe a shape without naming it, whilst their partner must try to draw the shape they are describing to try and get as close the original shape as possible. This activity focusses heavily on verbal communication and listening skills.
Water Balloon Toss
- You simply need to prepare balloons with water inside them.
- Pair the children off.
- They need to be apart for about three feet.
- Afterward, they can start tossing the water balloon to each other.
- Whenever they catch the water balloon, they need to take a step back and toss it again.
