Well what about sudoku? You can print them off of the internet and bring those in. They're really fun. Do you know how to play? You have 9 numbers to put in one section. In one section there are 9 boxes. you have to get #'s 1-9 vertically, horizontally and inside of a section. Or another option would to be make a Jeopardy game and think of questions for each amount of points and divide the class up into teams. That'd be super fun.

heads up 7up! teacher picks 7 kids that go to the front of class. The rest of the kids put their heads down(eyes closed) and their thumbs up. 7 kids go and pick one kid with head down by touching their thumb. They then return to the front of the class. After all 7 have picked, kids pick up their heads and one at a time guess who picked them. They get it right, they take that kids place as a picker. We used to play this all the time when I was in grade school.

String a clothes line and attach about 30 clothes pin on the line. The object is to see who can collect the most clothes pin, using one hand only, before dropping one. Have a running race with a basket ball between your knees. Hand out the same size piece of paper to everyone and tell them to tear out the shape of a man, see if anyone folds the paper before tearing and who tries to tear it without the fold and then vote on the best one. Divide into teams. Then race carring raw eggs in a tea spoon that is held in your mouth. The team who has the most eggs wins the game. Keep a bucket and mop handy cause many will hit the floor and never make it to the other side. Divide into teams. Race sitting on your hinny using your hips to move you along. Play the trip game. One person says, "I'm packing to go to (any state or location).................. and I am taking.......that person names an items to take with. The next person say, "I'm goting to ..................... and I'm taking................the item that the first person said and then adds one more item, The next person say, I'm going to ................and I'm taking ( the first two items and adds one). It all will look something like this, I'm going to California and I'm taking mysuit case; I'm taking my suitcase and my water; I'm taking my suit case, my water and my shoes: I'm taking my suit case, my water, my shoes and a hair brush: Here is a few. Have lots of FUN.

1. Tape an index card with a famous person's name on it to everyone's foreheads, without them seeing who it says. Everyone then has to walk around asking yes or no questions to their classmates until they figure out who they are. 2. Divide the class into 2 teams and have each team send a representative to the front of the room. Write a word on the board behind them so that everyone but the 2 people can see it. The teams have to get their representative to guess the word. Pictionary or charades always works too. [ thanks for your suggestions for my prom problem.. just returning the favor =) ]
