The “Husky Shuffl e” is another timed activity where the students all stand on a balance beam in the gym and they are required to fi gure out a way to place themselves in birth order in the line without talking. The “Spider Web” game involves students squeezing through a “spider web” without touching the sides and only one at a time can go through any particular hole. “Communication Circle” is a student activity where students stand in a circle and each one tosses a ball of yarn across the circle to another person after answering questions. One question is to say their name and their favorite food. The last student to talk will say their favorite school activity and toss it back to the person before them. In the timed “Hula Hoop Race,” students stand in a circle, holding hands, and maneuver a hula hoop from one person to the next, all the way around the circle. Groups compete by time. From left, Emilee Newman, Klohi Hook, Lillie Jerome and Yesenia Flores create a pattern with a ball of yarn. The “Human Knot” is an activity where students stand in a circle, shoulder-to-shoulder.
