Take a deck of cards and place them facedown on a desk. Have participating students turn over a card when it is their turn and then turn over another card to try to match the first one they turned over. If they match a pair, they go again; if they don't it is the next person's turn. The winner is the person with the most pairs when all the cards are turned over.
Separate students into equal teams by taping a 4-foot piece of masking tape on the floor and placing a team on either side. Put a stack of newspapers next to each child. On your signal, give students instructions to make newspaper wads and throw them at the other side. The side to finish their newspapers first is the winner.
Select a child to start the game off and have the remaining children sit in a circle. Instruct the child starting the game to go around the circle and touch each child's head while saying "duck." Tell the child to touch a child's head and say "goose" when he or she is ready to be chased around the circle. The student chosen as goose gets up and chases the other, trying to tag him or her before the child gets to the goose's empty spot. If the goose doesn't tag the other student before he or she sits down in the empty spot, that child becomes the person going around the circle. If the child does tag the person before he or she sits down, that person has to go around the circle again and select a new "goose."
Using one less chair than there are children, arrange chairs back to back, forming two rows of chairs. If there is an odd number of chairs, put one at one end of the rows. Have students march to music around the chairs. Instruct students to sit in a chair as fast as they can when the music stops. The child without a seat is out of the game. Remove and chair and repeat this process until one child gets the last seat.
