A Spin on Hot Potato

Have the students sit in a circle – Provide a bag with 
lots of funny clothing items in it.  Play some music 
and have the students pass the bag around the circle.  
Stop the music – the person with the bag must reach 
into the bag (without looking) and pull out an article 
of clothing and put it on over their other clothing.  Then 
begin the music again and pass the bag… repeat the 
process until the bag is empty.  
When everything has been put on – discuss which 
person looks the funniest with the wacky clothes or 
which person has the most pieces on …… 

This game is a lot of fun especially in Phys. Ed.

It’s Magic

This is a great pretend game to get the imagination flowing.

 

Provide a hat, cape, jacket …. or any item that can be worn safely. Tell the students that it is magic and will let them pretend to be anything they would like to be. Have a student put the item on and pretend to be something or someone different …. have the other students in the room take turns guessing what that student is. After everyone has had a turn or the student identifies what they are … it is then the next student’s turn.

 

This is a fun game and can be theme directed even. Example – The theme is ’safety’ – the students can be a fire hydrant, police person, fire person or even an emergency vehicle! Have Fun with it.
