Games to Play

Snickerdoodles
Play this game anytime, anywhere.
Arrange the children in pairs.
Name a part of the body.
The children in each pair tough those parts together. For example, if the part
of the body is toes each partner places his toes next to the other childs toes
so that they touch.
After naming a few parts of the body, say snickerdoodles, and everyone
changes partners.

Back to Back
The children find a partner and stand facing each other.
Recite the following chant.
o Hand to hand,
o Boom ti ada boom, boom.
o Hand to hand,
o Boom to ada boom, boom.
As the children say the chant, they open their hands and touch palm to palm.
Repeat the chant, naming a different part of the body.
o Finger to finger,
o Boom ti ada boom, boom.
o Finger to finger,
o Boom to ada boom, boom.
o Nose to nose
Make it more complicated by naming two parts of the body.
Partners must touch one part to another, such as
o Elbow to knee
o Wrist to ankle
o Back to back.
