A Fun Activity for Preschool and Kindergarten - A Spin on Hot Potato - the Game

Have the students sit in a circle – Provide a bag with 

lots of funny clothing items in it.  Play some music 

and have the students pass the bag around the circle.  

Stop the music – the person with the bag must reach 

into the bag (without looking) and pull out an article 

of clothing and put it on over their other clothing.  Then 

begin the music again and pass the bag... repeat the 

process until the bag is empty.  

When everything has been put on – discuss which 

person looks the funniest with the wacky clothes or 

which person has the most pieces on …... 

This game is a lot of fun especially in Phys. Ed.

Exercise Roll - for preschool, kindergarten - any grade or skill level

This is such a fun way to get the kids moving …. and they want to do it!

First you will need to make some dice – use 2 - larger square boxes for this. You will need to decide appropriate exercises for your group of students – older kids can do considerably more activities than younger preschoolers. Whether you are choosing jumping jacks and running in place or doing an obstacle course as an option – choose carefully so that every person in your class can accomplish the task.

You will need 6 activities – Options could be windmills, toe touches, knee bends, knee hugs, arm circles.... even rolling on the floor. For younger students – words printed on the die may not be sufficient – create a picture of the activity – either print a picture off of the internet or use your great skill to 'draw' it (I personally am not a great artist – give me simple any day!) Paste the drawings onto the sides of the box.

The other box will need numbers printed on the sides – for older students – use numbers counted by 2 or 5 – but for the younger students that may lose interest quickly or have the need for 'counting' practice – number it 1 – 6.

Now you are ready to choose a student to be the first to roll the dice – example if the top sides says 3 and jumping jacks – then the students will need to do 3 jumping jacks. Have the students take turn rolling the exercise.
