I was looking for a fun and light way to help a child understand the 'give me 5' strategy in the classroom, i.e. When the teacher says ‘give me 5’, s/he is expecting eyes watching, ears listening, mouth closed, hands empty and body still.
In the game the children are individually trying to collect all 5 of the instructions required to be followed when a teacher instructs, ‘Give me 5’. The exclamation marks in the game represent the distractions in the classroom that might stop children from giving their full attention. Just as in real life in the classroom, the longer it takes for the children to ‘Give 5’ the more likely there will be consequences, e.g. moved to amber on the traffic light, loss of play-time, teacher will be disappointed etc. Therefore, the game is a race against time for all players as a team or individually (depending on how you’d prefer to play it) to have their full set of 5 instructions before the sad face jigsaw is complete.
I found this game worked well. The children enjoyed playing it and after a few games, they could recall the 5 instructions and found it easier to apply them in the classroom.
