OUTDOOR TAG GAMES!
http://www.gamekids.com/games2.html
”You’re IT!”—who hasn’t heard this perennial favorite during their
lifetime? Find LOTS of variations of the ever-popular game of tag
at this fun site.
CARNIVAL GAMES:
http://www.creighton.edu/%7Ebsteph/pack114/library/games.html
Carnival Games—a favorite of all age groups! Carnival games always
have the ring of summer to them, and even Middle and High School stu-
dents will enjoy the games at this particular site. It’s not too late to
plan a carnival for yours and some partner classes—have the older
students plan it if you wish, especially for the youngest ones. But you
don’t need an older class to enjoy the games. One class could plan and
invite a few others. You could even make it a 25 cent carnival—with
the proceeds to go to purchasing software for your school (& do I ever
know of a great place to buy great software!)
CHARADES & PICTIONARY:
http://www.creighton.edu/%7Ebsteph/pack114/library/games.html
Yes, these games can also be played outside. In fact, have the acting
team stand outside the classroom window, while the answering team
looks on at the antics from the inside--I promise it will make for
some hilarious moments, and passersby wondering on earth is going on!
Sure to break down all reserves, these games are perfect for either
beginning or ending the school year, and perfect too, for secondary
students. Have a blast!
