  • HEALTHY ACTIVITY IDEAS for CLASSROOM PARTIES IDEAS
    HEALTHY ACTIVITY IDEAS for CLASSROOM PARTIES Safety Precautions: Through consultation with Mrs. Lenton, our school nurse, it was decided that games or activities that include any type of food should be avoided due to the prevalence of food allergies. In addition, the homeroom parent or group leader should confirm that there are no students with latex allergies before playing any of the balloon games. Most of the ideas will work best for grades 3-5, but there are some that can be used with the younger children. I have designated with an * the ones that should be suitable for all grades. IDEAS *Coin Tossing: Use chalk to draw a line several feet from the wall. In groups of 3 or 4, students take turns standing behind the line and tossing a coin, poker chip or similar object towards the wall. The player whose coin is closest to the wall when all have been tossed is the winner. Coin Catching: Quarters probably work best for this. The first player balances one coin on her elbow, drops her hand quickly, and tries to catch the coin before it hits the ground. Each player attempts the same and those who cannot do it are eliminated. In the next round, a second coin is stacked on the first and so on… Up the Ladder: On a piece of paper, draw a ladder with 7 or more rungs. Write “Finish” above the top rung. Players take turns making 3 marks in the empty spaces between the rungs of the ladder. The first player’s mark is an X and the second player uses O.

  • Activities Guidebook How-To Sheet: Minute to Win It Party
    Activities Guidebook How-to Sheet: Minute to Win It Party Minute to Win It was a popular primetime game show that was initially seen on NBC and has since transitioned to the programming lineup on Game Show Network. Contestants try to complete a series of ten 60-second tasks, with each task increasing in difficulty. A contestant has three opportunities to complete a task prior to time expiring. He or she is eliminated after three failed attempts at a single task. If a player completes all ten tasks, he or she wins $1 million. There are many ways in which Minute to Win It could be played. You could use the same format as the TV show. Place all attendees’ names in a bucket and draw one name to see who will play. All other attendees would act as the audience until the player is eliminated, at which time another name would be drawn. If you would like to get more people involved in participating in the tasks, you could have head-to-head competition, team challenges, or set up several tasks at “stations” through which all participants can rotate. The materials necessary to play the games are, for the most part, simple household items that can be easily found. These items include pencils, paper grocery bags, ping pong balls (multiple colors required for some games), rubber bands, disposable cups and balloons, as well as many others. You will also need some type of timing device with a second hand or a digital device that counts seconds. A list of Minute to Win It games, as well as a list of required materials for each game, can be found at http://gameshows.about.com/od/minutetowinitgames/.
