• Play a quick game of “Follow the Leader”. Choose a “leader”, who will be the head of the line. Everyone else will be the “followers” and line up behind the leader. The leader then moves all around, and all of the players have to mimic the leader’s actions. Any players that fail to follow the leader are out of the game. When only one follower remains, that player then becomes the new leader and the game starts over again with all of the players getting in line once again. The playground at the school would be a great location to play.
• Try to invent a new version of the game by changing the rules a bit?
