Red Bird Blue Bird is also a fun game. You could also teach them a song in sign language, but I would leave off the sign language. Kids at the age you are making me assume (kindergarten, preschool, and grade schoolers) might not like doing all that extra work. If you have paper and markers, try having them draw pictures for their parents. Try reading a story, or reading bible verses to help build their knowledge on religion. Make sure that you provide snacks. Kids without snacks or anything to drink are like lions! Hope this helps! If you are in a gymnasium, then something like tag, or chase would be good.

Games are great. Game: Band-Aid Tag How the game is played: In this variation, when a child is tagged, he or she places a hand on the spot that was tagged. The child must keep a hand on that spot for the rest of the game. If the child gets tagged a second time, a hand must be placed on the second spot. Now the child has used up all the band-aids. If tagged a third time, the child must go to the "hospital" (the sidelines) and do five jumping jacks to "get well" and rejoin the game. What the game teaches: Motor skill, agility, and teamwork. Bubble Gum You had to have at least three people to play but an unlimited number could join in. Everyone would gather in a tight circle and make a fist with both hands and hold their fists out in the center of the circle. I cant remember exactly how we chose who would be the counter (I think it was whoever was the bossiest at the moment!).[See Picking Who is IT] But anyway, the counter would take one of her fists and tap everyone's fists (including her own) as she said this rhyme: Bubble gum, Bubble gum, in a dish. How many pieces do you wish? Who ever she taps last would give a number between 1 and 20. Then the counter would again tap everyone's fists as he/she counted to the specified number. Who ever she landed on had to take that fist out of the circle and place their hand behind their back. Then the counter would start all over again with the Bubble gum, Bubble gum....and repeat the process. Once both of your fists were tapped, you were out. And this went on until it narrowed it down to one-the winner. Now, a lot of times we used this to help us decide on certain issues-kinda like a fair way of voting on who would be leader for the day or something silly like that. Other times we just played it over and over again to see who won the most and was declared the champion of the day. It was fun and very simple to learn. Below are several websites with a lot more ideas. Good luck! :) A song in sign would be fun. Games are great.

It would be great to teach kids that because they learn to appreciate and accept disabled people as well as being able to communicate in another language. Or teach a game in sign language. Eg: scissors, paper, rock. A think a word game that makes people think or like you said sign language is really cool.
