The Adventurers: Movement Shape Game (Moving and Grooving)

Musical Chair Matching Game: When the theme is movement and music, playing the classic game of musical chairs is a must. We added a little twist to the game. Pictures of musical instruments were taped to the chairs. Each player received a corresponding picture that was attached to a Popsicle stick. When the music played, we walked around the chairs. When the music stopped, we had to find the chair with our corresponding picture and then had to sit down on the chair. One important rule was not to push our friends while looking for the matching picture. 

Movement Shape Game “Moving and Grooving”: We played a fun new game in the hallway today. Different shapes were taped to the floor and spread out from one end to the other end of the hallway. Each player placed a game piece onto the shape that said “Start." The first player rolled the dice and then moved that many spaces. Once the player got to his spot, he read the instructions that were written onto the shape and the whole group did the action. Here are some of the activities: "Do a bear walk with a friend." "Do 10 donkey kicks." "Do 5 jumping jacks." "Give your friends a high 5." While playing the game we worked on cooperation, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
