Students learn this script and then as a class you say it and insert different names and then copy their actions.

“Lets play copy cat just for fun 

We’ll copy ________ she’s the one 

Whatever she does, we’ll do the same 

That’s how we play the copy cat game”

Counting/ number game (eg. don’t say a number with 7 or multiple of 7 etc.)

Tell students you are thinking of a number between 1-20 and then give clues (eg. it is a multiple of 5, it is an odd number etc.)

Silent Ball

Students who catch the ball decide on the size of the ball and then throw to someone else who is making eye contact with them.

Adaptations:

• Students who miss the ball have to sit down
• Students that catch the ball can answer a themed question

Children need brain breaks in order to keep their focus and energy. Take the child’s age and add two, thats how often brain breaks should be.
