Say: “Today we are practicing __________ during this game”
Our jobs are to be __________ and remember the group and action. Lets practice the groups first. Give them a number of members per group and a task. They are responsible to remember the group and the unique task.
- 1. (Pairs) Each pair/group creates unique handshake/body shake.
- 2. (group of 3) Create dance move.
- 3. (group 4) Unique high-five.
- 4. (group of 5) Unique cheer.
After everyone has learned group and task tell them their job is to find them and do the task when you call out the group. Call out partner groups handshake, dance, high-five, and cheer. Go from one category to the next so they have to be fast and have fun. You can use this at any time to create groups.
