Olga from Russia has this great game idea that she emailed me. She was kind enough to let me share it with all of you:
Here is one more game for the kids of age 2 and up. Sometimes even kids of the age of 6 like to play with us
We play this game outside, but I am sure it can be played indoors. I call it DAY and NIGHT .
On the ground I draw two big circles enough for all kids who play to get in them, the distance between circles can be different depending on the age. I draw a sun in one circle and the moon and stars in another, and bind both circles with a crooked line or straight line, depends on the mood. Then I say: day and all kids go or run to the day circle, and start to spin there or jump or sing, whatever they wish. Then I say : night! and they all run on the line or path to the night circle and sit down there and pretend that they are sleeping. Then I say day and they all run back to the day circle. There can be many variations
Thanks, Olga! This is nice. I can think of variations where you can say instead of day, morning. Then ask the students to go to the morning circle and ask them, ” what do you do in the morning?” and they would answer, ” I wake up!” Hmm… reminds me of a song…
