Bring blankets and pull out some chairs for kids to build forts. Divide into groups of four and see which team can build the most creative fort using the blankets, chairs and toys from the classroom. This game helps kids learn to work together and be creative.
Sit the kids around a table and give each a piece of paper. Have different sized plastic cups in the middle of the table and tell the kids to make three circles, from biggest to smallest on their papers, by tracing around the cups. Draw the circles on top of each other to make a snowman. Do one for them to show them how to do it. Then give them plenty of cotton and glue and see who can make the fluffiest snowman.
Give each child a sheet with pictures of different animals. Give them a second sheet that shows pictures of parts of the same animals. Give each kid plastic scissors and have them cut out the animal part pictures and place them on top of the correct animal in the first picture.
Bring three teddy bears to class. Have the children put their heads down and close their eyes. Hide the bears around the room. Divide the kids into teams of three to four and have them all hunt for the bears. When all the bears are found hide them again in different spots.
Stand about twenty to thirty feet away from the kids. Have them stand side by side. When you say green light they can walk, hop, skip or crawl to you. For each round of the game choose one of those ways of moving. When you say red light they must stop. The first child to reach you gets to stand by you and call the next game.
Hide enough edible treats in different locations in the room for each child. Organize the kids into groups of two to four holding hands. Have them move around the room together while the other students sit on the floor watching. Say hotter or colder as they move closer or farther away from one of the treats. Make sure you hide the correct number of treats together for each group. Play until all the kids have found their prizes.
