Dice (Three Touch Game): One Student from each team plays at a time. The idea is that the student must kick a dice a specific number of times (1,2,3 times) across the floor and have the dice land on the opposing teams line without going over. Students take turns attempting to do this until a student has won. In the picture the students are playing from the near blue line to the far blue line. (At this distance and age level we played 2 kicks) If a student kicks the dice over the line, he/she is instantly disqualified and the other student wins 5 points. If a student makes it to the opposing team's line with the dice touching the line they win. (But I let students match the winning student if they are the second student to play) For Example: The first student kicks the dice twice and lands on the line. The following student then gets a chance to match, and gets 2 kicks to try and get on the blue line. If the student makes it, then another round is played... and so on.
*This game is quick and easy. Depending on the age of students and size of the classroom the teacher may delegate how many kicks are allowed.
*I allowed each student to play once every time the dice landed on this game, as the games go pretty fast.
*If students are extremely young, (4,5,6 years old) Let every student try to kick the dice 3 times across the floor from the blue line to the opposite blue line. If they land on the line, in 3 kicks, they win 5 points.

Call the Coin: Each student gets a chance to call a coin toss. (Heads or Tails) If a student calls the coin correctly they are awarded 10 points.
*Can Push students to answer a question correctly in order to play to make it more difficult.
*Can teach young students a sentence in order to play (EX. I want Heads... I want Tails... Come on Heads!!!! Come on Tails!!!)

Poker Chip Game: One student from each team plays at a time. As shown in the picture, each student has a poker chip (Or a coin). Each student is allowed one flick of the coin. The students take turns flicking the coins back and forth trying to knock the opposing coin off the table by flicking their coin into the opposing students coin. The last coin on the table is the winner. (If a student flicks his/her own coin off the table they lose... If a student flicks both coins off the table, they both lose...) The winner is awarded 5 points.
*This game is quick and easy. I allowed each student to play this game once each time the playing piece landed on this game
*If a table is unavailable, a small play area can be marked on the floor easily
*If you want to step this game up Rulers can be used to flick the coins instead of students using their fingers
*For very students (4,5,6 years old) I taught children the game by having the teacher play each student. After they understood the game, it was quite easy for students to play against one another.

Call the Dice: Each student gets a chance to call a number of the dice and try to roll it. If the student rolls the number they called they are awarded 25 points.
As these are relatively simple games, I made sure to present them as super strategy games for children. I would tell students that this game is only fun for the super smart children because they needed to play wisely. This made children get into the relatively laid back game much more and think of how to win!
