Today in kindergarten, we played a game called "Back-Yard Wars." The kids fell in love with this game. Basically you divide the room up in halves or if you are outside you set your boundaries to have two equal sections for "back-yards." Then you divide the kids up equally and tell them with yard they are in. Make sure there is a line that they are not allowed to pass....they can't be in each others back-yard. You give them soft yarn balls (represents trash) in each yard, start the music, and have them try to keep the trash out of their back-yard and into their neighbors. When the music stops they have to freeze and see which back-yard has the most trash in it.
Kids love this game for a few reasons......they get to throw stuff without hurting their friends, they are getting rid of energy and frustrations in a good way, and they are having fun.
This is a great game that even I love. They kids had a ball throwing their "trash" around, even at me! Fun times in kindergarten. :)
