Organisation:
This game is suitable for most ages. No equipment is needed. The teacher just has to organise to children in groups of five. This game is suitable to be played in space where groups are not touching and interfering with each other.

The purpose of this game is to provide the opportunity for children to use their imagination and to break down any barriers and to have fun. It is appropriate for all year levels and ages.
Set the scene for this activity by discussing the different ways people and animals move. For example, a soldier walks upright with arms and legs straight, a snakes slithers across the ground.

This game can be played with children 5+ and the only resource needed is a large piece of fabric. The purpose of the game is to stimulate children’s imagination by encouraging multiple answers for the same question.

The purpose of this game is to develop creativity in children and to give children a chance to express themselves. It also encourages children to ‘think outside the square’ and think of non-verbal ways to communicate to others. It is a great game as no resources are needed.

Beginning Activities

Instruct the children to move slowly out into an area quietly and find an individual space. The children will know this in their spot because they wont be able to touch anyone else.
The children stretch up as high as they can in their space.
