Materials: none or flashcards
Divide students into color teams. When you call a color, that team runs from one end of gym to other. If you tag them, they stay in middle with you and help tag next victims. If you call “Red Rover all Over!” then everyone runs (but means you can’t have a red team).
Red Light, Green Light July 25, 2007
Posted by serenden in KINDERGARDEN, colors.add a comment
Materials: A stoplight or large color cards to show students.
Beware, use only if students are well behaved. students start at one end of the gym. When you say “green light” they start running (or skipping, etc.) to other side of gym. When you say “red light” they must stop. First student to other side wins. Can say “yellow light” and have them do some silly dance, too.
