Why
To expend some of that energy, whilst listening to an informative,
ecological story!
How
It’s like the game ‘Ladders’. Divide the children into two teams.
Sit them down in two lines, facing each other, with their legs
outstretched to form a ladder. Each team member should have a partner in
the other team with whom to form a rung of the ladder. Number the pairs
down the teams, from 1 to however many pairs there are. Then explain
that you are going to read them a story with many characters in it. Each
pair will be given a character, and when they hear their character
mentioned in the story, they must get up, run round the back of
everyone, and up the middle of the ladder back to their place as fast as
they can, before the next character is mentioned. At times, the story
will mention ‘everyone’, and this means that everybody must get up
and run at the same time! |
