One child is the “detective.” The detective describes a “missingchild” (classmate), giving their eye color, hair color, description ofclothing, likes, etc. The firstperson to identify the missing child gets to be the new detective.
Hint! Here is another variation of this game. Send the detective out in the hall. Select one child and hide him or her underyour desk or behind a shelf. Thedetective returns to the classroom and tries to identify the missingchild. (You can also let twochildren exchange seats and see if the detective can spot the switch.)
TOWER TOPPLE
Every child will need one block from theblock center for this game. Thefirst child places their block on the floor. The second child places his or her block on top of the firstblock. The game continues as eachchild adds their block to the tower. When the “tower topples,” children get a block and the game begins allover again.
Hint! Have children count the blocks and see if they can beat their previousrecord.
SILENT BALL
You will need a small, soft ball for thisgame. Explain that the object ofthe game is to see how many times you can toss the ball without talking. Look at the person you are throwing theball to so they will be ready. Silently count how many times we can throw the ball without talking ordropping it. If someone talks ordrops the ball, then the game begins all over again.
