SEL / Life Skill ________________
Materials: None
Setting: Open space
Say: “Today we are practicing __________ during this game”
A creative story of Gelflings (which are a type elf) is told. No description here, so you get to be creative. Either way, the Gelflings want to help each other stay away from wizards and be free. The Wizard(s) tag an elf and he/she is then frozen. The Gelfling sets off a universal elf distress beacon, “Help me, help me, help me…” The Gelfling can only be set free when two free Gelflings join hands in a circle over them, do the dance and say, “Be free little elf, be free.” Play until you’re out of elves or losing the fun energy. For larger groups you can have two or three wizards.
