Something my kids loved

I got the kids in a circle. I took a Koosh ball (lightweight, can't break anything!), said a child's name, and threw it to them. They then had to throw it someone else, but they had to say the name of the person first.| I did this at the end of the day, when the kids already knew a few names. My kids thought it was so much fun, especially after a day of sitting around and doing rules and procedures! After the kids started getting the names, I'd add a rule, like giving them until the count of 3 to throw it, or that they had to catch it or they were out. We played it again the second day to make sure | |
we knew the names, and again on the third day because we got two new students and we wanted them to learn names!By the way this was in fourth grade, but I think this would work in most grades!
