1. Choose a leader. The children can take turns
being the leader.
2. The leader gives the children directions to do different things
around the room. Each one gets a turn to give five directions.
Here are some examples:
*Tommy, go get three blocks and give them to Jennifer.
*Jennifer, give one block to Heidi.
*Jason, go get a ball and roll it to Rick.
*Adam, go over to Melissa and shake hands with her.
*Everyone, take three steps, then hop on one foot three times.
Then choose another leader who gets to give five
other directions.
*Reach down and touch the floor.
*Stand tall, then wiggle your whole body.
*Stretch your arms and wave to your friends.
*Touch your head and then your elbow.
