*Activity Directions*
Pass the Hula Hoop- The whole group should form a circle holding hands.
Ask two people to let go of their grip and place their hands through a hula
hoop before rejoining them. The task is to pass the hula hoop around the
circle in a specified direction until it returns to the starting point. For another
twist, add in another hula hoop going the opposite direction.
Poison Dart Frog- All students stand in a circle with one student in the
middle, everyone closes their eyes. The leader walks around and taps 1 or 2
students depending on group size. These students become the poison dart
frogs. Their job is to ‘attack’ other players by making eye contact with the
person and quickly sticking their tongue out at other people. All students
must consistently look around and make eye contact with other members of
the circle. If a dart frog sticks your tongue out at you, you dramatically die.
The person in the middle is meant to guess who the poison dart frog is in
three guesses or less. If they cannot identify them, the poison dart frog
wins.
Sardines- Similar to hide and seek, only one player hides in this version.
The seekers count to a designated number while this person finds a hiding
place. When the other players find the person who has hidden they hide in
the space with them until all players are eventually squeezed into one hiding
place. The first person to find the hider gets to hide for the next round.
Animal CardsThis or That- One person chooses two related objects or topics and says
them, and the other players choose which they would prefer. Examples
include bananas or apples, star wars or star trek, cats or dogs, movies or
TV.
Fire in the ForestTag Variation- Students can choose and vote on their favorite variation of
tag to play as a group.
Sharks & Minnows- Start with one person being the shark, all other
students become minnows. The shark starts in the middle of the play area
and tells the fish to come out, when the minnows slowly walk towards the
shark. At any point the shark can yell ‘Shark Attack!!’ and the minnows have
to run to the opposite boundary line without being tagged. If a minnow is
tagged they become a shark. The game continues until there are only one or
two more minnows, who can then become sharks in the next round.
Skittles ArtMaterials:
 skittles
 warm water
 cup plate
Directions:
1. Make a circle of different colored circles on a round plate.
2. Warm up some water in a glass and pour it in the center of the circle
(enough to reach the skittles and create a shallow layer).
3. Watch!
Make Phases of the MoonMaterials:
 3½ paper plates per student
 markers/crayons/paint
 pencils
 rulers
 hole punch
 scissors
Directions:
1. Color one paper plate black (this is the new mon).
2. Paint two plates like the full moon. Students can decorate theirs
however they would like.
3. Cut one plate in half and decorate, these are the quarter moons.
4. Create a small stencil to draw and cut out a crescent and decorate,
this is the gibbous moon.
Marshmallows/Toothpicks- Use marshmallows and toothpicks to create
structures by using the marshmallows as meeting points.
Paper Airplane Competition- Each student should make their own paper
airplane, then compete in a series of events including: aim (create a target
for the airplane to hit), distance (throw them from the same starting place
and see which goes the farthest), endurance (time which plane can stay in
the air the longest).
