Bouncing Balls- Students get to test how different balls will bounce on
different surfaces. Begin with 3 different balls (ping-pong, golf, basketball,
tennis ball, etc.) and 3 different surfaces (tile, concrete, linoleum, grass,
etc.) and a meter stick for each group or pair. Students can create a
predictions sheet for which balls will bounce highest on what surface and
then test it in their pairs or groups. At the end the whole group can discuss
potential reasons for the results.
Kickball- Students should be split into two teams (around 9 is a perfect
amount to fill all positions). When a team is not kicking there should be a
catcher, pitcher, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base person and outfielders. The kickers
line up and kick in order, their goal is to kick the ball to a distance where
they are able to run as many bases as possible without getting ‘out’. The
other team can get them out by either: catching the ball midair, tagging the
running player with the ball (or the base before the runner makes it there),
or if a kicker misses three decent pitches. The team with the most runs at
the end of the game wins. Both teams having a turn to kick and play outfield
constitutes an inning, typically a game is 6 innings.
Draw and pass it on- Everyone should have a piece of paper and sit in a
circle. Each player writes a short sentence on the top of their paper, then
passes it to the person on their right. Each person has one minute to draw
an interpretation of the sentence before passing it around for another turn.
The game is over when everyone receives their original paper and share with
the group. This game is fun to play with notebooks or small booklets so that
other players only see the cover and their own art until the end of the game.
Water TornadoSupplies (for each bottle):
 two plastic one liter bottles, one filled with water
 pitcher
 bowl or container
 paper
 pencil
 duct tape
 metal washer
 stopwatch
Steps:
1. Fill 1 bottle to the top with water and place a metal washer onto the
mouth of it.
2. Place the other bottle on top of the water filled bottle with the washer
between the two.
3. Use duct tape to tape the bottles together and keep the washer in
place.
4. Flipping the bottles creates the tornado!
Name Game- Sit in a circle. One person begins by saying their name and
an adjective that starts with the same letter (you can also do a food), the
next person must say the name and adjective of the person before them and
share their own. It gets progressively harder as you move around the circle
as the list of names grows and grows, and the very last person must try to
say everyone’s name and adjective.
How strong is a piece of paper? – Using regular pieces of paper, fold
each one into a triangle, one into a square, and one into a circle an secure
them with tape. Pile small books on to each shape to see which shape can
support the most weight. Students can make predictions prior to testing
each piece.
Bounce the Ball-
Freeze Tag- The same rules as tag, but when a player is tagged they must
stay frozen until another player unfreezes them by tagging them. The goal
of the person who is It is to freeze all players.
Dancing Raisins- Pour a clear soda into a clear glass and add a small
handful of raisins into the cup, they will bob up and down around the cup!
