EQUIPMENT
24 short cones
24 fuzzy balls
4 dots (red, yellow, blue, green)
STORYLINE
Today we are playing Memory. Your goal is to quickly skip out to the cones to find and retrieve a fuzzy ball.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into four teams.
Before the game begins, line up with your teammates behind your team’s dot.
When I say, “GO!” skip to a cone and look under it.
If there is a ball under the cone, grab it and run back to your team.
When you get back to your team, high-five the next student in line.
If there is no ball, then run back and high-five the next student in line.
Game 1: Elimination - when choosing a cone, flip it upside down so that it is not chosen again.
Game 2: Memory - Students must remember which cones were already checked.
Game 3: Versus - Have teams play against one another to see who can find the most fuzzy balls.
Variation: If dividing students into groups is too difficult, have everyone go at once.
Exit Ticket: Students skip to go line up for class.
