Each team has a playing piece. Students roll the dice to move their playing piece towards the game of their choosing. When a student makes it to a game, then the class may play. Games vary from 2 students at a time to all students at the same time.
Games:
$ Blow: Each student has a money card or poker card on their head. (Students may not touch the cards on their heads or they are out) They must walk around and try to blow the cards off the other student's head's. The team that wins can be awarded 20 points, or can play a "free for all" where the winning student wins money cards (Pink)
*If students are too young, the teacher can be the attacker, and blow cards off students heads.
$ Race: Students line up touching a wall. Each has a money card on their head. The students then race from wall to opposite wall and back a few times (twice, back and forth). The first student to sit nicely with the card still on their head is the winner. 20 Points to winner.
*if too young, or too many, choose half the class to play the first round, then the other half of the class to play the second round.
$ 1 vs. 1: 2 children are chosen by the teacher to race around 2 chairs trying to catch the other without losing the card on their head. If the card falls off their head the other student is the winner. If a student catches the other student (tagging them), then he/she is the winner. 5 points to the winner.
*Depending on how fast the game goes, you can play one longgg race game, or many quick games. Depends on the class.
$ Blind Tag: All students have a card on their head's. One student is then blind folded. The blindfolded student has 10-30 seconds to tag as many children as possible. After the time is up, the caught children are "out" and all the students who's cards fell off their heads are "out". The remaining students win points.
*If using money cards its fun to write different point amounts on the cards before hand so that the winning students win the amount of points written on the cards. Or if using poker cards, the card could be used as the number equalling the amount of points with face cards = 25 points.
*The first time I played with students I did an automatic amount of points for each game. The second time I played I added the points to the cards so that teams were awarded the amount of points that the winner had on his or her head. (I had points ranging from 1 - 50)
