Designate one student as the fox. Have the fox stand with his back to the class. Have kindergartners line up on a starting line about 15 to 20 feet away from the fox. Invite students to call out, "What time is it, Mr. Fox?" The fox calls out a time, such as three o'clock. Kindergartners then take three steps toward the fox. Continue to have students ask what time it is and the fox answer. Students match the number of steps forward to the numerical time. When the fox thinks classmates are close, he responds to the question "What time is it, Mr. Fox?" with, "It's midnight!" When the time hits midnight, the fox turns around and tries to catch classmates. Classmates escape by running back to the starting line. If the fox catches someone before he reaches the starting line, he becomes Mr. Fox for the next round of play.
Divide kindergartners into two teams. Use a rope or piece of string to divide the playing field in half to keep teams from bumping into each other during game play. Give each team a beach ball. Tell students the object of the game is to keep the beach ball volleying in the air longer than the other team. Student can tap the ball with their hands, head or feet to keep it in the air. Once the ball hits the ground, the game ends. Students must also take turns hitting the ball back into the air. If a player hits a ball twice in a row, the game ends. Start the game by having one student on each team toss the beach ball in the air when you say go. Play the game a few times and talk about strategies each team found that worked for them.
Use painter's tape to map out an obstacle course on the playground with blue arrows. A sample course might start with walking up the steps of the jungle gym, under a bar, over the bridge and then down a slide. The course continues to weave in and out of the swings, across the monkey bars and ends with two spins around a tetherball pole. Create a course that is easy enough to map out with arrows but long enough to provide time for kindergartners to cheer on classmates. Before kindergartners run the obstacle course, have students follow you as you walk them through the course and point out the arrows guiding their path. After a walk through, allow students to run the obstacle course in relay teams of four. Time each team and award first, second and third place. Try a different obstacle course each month with new teams.
Divide kindergartners into two teams. Have students stand side by side and hold hands. Tell students the object of the game is to pass the hula hoop from one end of the line to the other end of the line by moving the hula hoop over their heads and down their bodies. Students may help each other lift the hoop over their heads as long as they keep holding hands during the entire game. The first team to get the hula hoop to the other end of the line wins. Begin the game by looping the hula hoop over the shoulder of the first person in each line.
