PLAYGROUND GAMES - I need you to tell me what works wonders with your groups.
 

Do you play games or dance (like hokey pokey) in the school playground? I �m used to doing this with little kids, up to 9 years old, say. But I would like to play also with the older groups of 10-13 years of age. If you have tried some, please let me know. I wouldn �t like to give them sth childish and spoil the moment. Millions of thanks in advance

Here �s an idea
you can use any group of words, such as: animals, colors, family members, clothes, different foods etc �
hand out 1 flash card for each student.
have them stand on a line (so that they all see you and stand on the same starting point). you call out a word.
whoever has that flash card takes a step forward.
They can jump the step to edvance farther.
The winner is the one to get to the finish line first (where you stand).
They can have similar cards so the competition gets more exciting.
You can also hand out 2 cards for each student, so they have twice the chance to move forwad.
the game can be played several times by letting them switch their flash cards with their friends after each round.
In my experience, children love it
have fun!
