Classroom Lesson Break Game - 4 corners
Signs to use in the '4 corners' game. A great game to play when students need a break and need to 'move n groove'!
How to play ...
Pin the signs on the wall in the 4 corners of the room. Students dance while music is played. When music stops, children must go and stand in one corner. A card is pulled from a deck. The card is called out and all children standing in that corner (ie hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs) are out and need to sit down. Continue playing until 1 student remains.
When down to 4 children, make sure 1 child is in each corner. Less than 4 children, you can play 'ends' or 'colours'.
Have fun. Enjoy this freebie.
