a couple good ones for groups of kids include:
ANIMAL EXERCISES
Materials:
1 CD of lively kidsâ music
CD player
At least 3 players
Directions:
This is a very silly and very simple game. Itâs sort of a cross between âSimon Saysâ and âMusical Chairsâ. The rules are simple. When the music starts, the kids will walk around the room, listening for your directions. When you call out an animal exercise, such as âHop like a rabbit!â all the kids need to follow your direction. Each time they hear another direction, they switch their motion. Play continues until the music stops, at which point all kids need to freeze in position. If you catch them moving, theyâre âoutâ. The last kid standing wins the game.
Here are some suggested directions to use:
Run like a tiger
Skip like a kangaroo
Hop like a rabbit
Jump like a frog
Toss like a monkey (when inside, use something soft for this, like a small pillow)
Stretch like a giraffe
ITSY BITSY MAY I
This is a great way to help your little animal get some exercise while practicing his gross motor skills!
Remember the game âMother, May I?â Try this following directions tag game that focuses on gross motor skills to the theme Itsy Bitsy Spider. This game is fun indoors or out. And the more the merrier, since that makes it more challenging, too!
Directions:
Decide who will be Itsy Bitsy. (NOTE: For the first game, it helps to have the adult act as Itsy Bitsy, to give a solid example for others to follow when itâs their turn.) This person is the designated spider. She should stand on the opposite side of the room (if indoors) or across the playground (if outdoors). Itsy Bitsy stays stationary until they reply NO to a request.
Now, choose a base location for the game that is opposite Itsy Bitsy and on a flat surface. This is the starting location for the players and a base to run to in order to be âsafeâ. If youâre playing indoors, a mat makes a good base. Outside, a paper plate does the trick.
Now the game begins. Itsy Bitsy will say a phrase like, âJump six times towards me.â All players respond, âItsy Bitsy May I?â If Itsy Bitsy says, âYesâ, the children move forward, according to the given command (for example, six jumps forward.)
Play continues with Itsy Bitsy giving different orders each time. Stuck on what kinds of commands to give? Try asking kids to run in place, skip, hop, walk backward, gallop forward, slide, or any other movements that work on big muscle coordination.
As the children get closer to Itsy Bitsy, and ask, âItsy Bitsy May I?â the spider may respond, âNo!â at any time. When Itsy Bitsy says âNo!â, itâs a signal that the spider will try to tag as many children possible before they can arrive safely back to base. Whoever is tagged before making it to base sits out until the next game starts.
Itâs important to remember that just as in âMother May I?â, the tag works both ways! Those who make it back to base safely continue to play all the players have been tagged OR until a child tags Itsy Bitsy in her home.
This is a great way for kids to let off some steam, to practice listening to directions, and to get a workout. Make sure you continue playing until everyone has had a turn to be Itsy Bitsy!
WHATS IN THE BAG
How to Play:
For this game you will secretly place an everyday item in a paper bag and then give different clues to your child, who will then try to guess the item. Too often we donât give kids enough thinking time when we ask them for an answer. So be sure to allow them a minute or two between each clue for reflection.
Hereâs how to start. Letâs say you choose to hide your favorite cooking spoon. You might say âIt is made out of woodâ¦â¦. I keep it in the kitchenâ¦â¦ I use it to stir the lemonadeâ¦â¦.Do you have a guess?â If your child gives an incorrect answer, then repeat the clues, leaving time for thinking between each statement, and then add more clues until the correct answer has been reached.
Once your child has guessed correctly, give him the bag and let him look inside. Heâll get a big kick out of seeing the object in person.
At first, kids may have trouble guessing whatâs in the bag. Start them off with a set of very common objects and later, begin adding more unique items. You can do this activity indoors or out. What will seem to your child like nothing more than a fun game is actually a lot more. Because in between all that play, your kid is building problem solving skills that will serve her well in kindergartenâ¦and beyond.
AND I HAVE TO ADD THIS ONE FOR A GROUP LEARNING ACTIVITY
Get ready for a cool activity! Have your child build an ice sculpture that's so fast, fun, and messy that she may not even realize she's learning a lot about science.
Materials:
Plastic containers of different shapes and sizes
Food coloring
Kosher salt and table salt in salt shakers
Turkey baster and container of water
Gloves/mittens
Directions:
Several days before this activity, freeze water in many different plastic containers. For extra interest, add food coloring to some of the water.
Unmold the ice on a table. It's about to get messy and wet, so you might want to do this outside.
Have your child build sculptures with the ice, if there's more than one child challenge them to work together.
Let your child experiment with the salt and water to see how it affects the ice. (Salt helps the pieces stick together and water, well you get the idea.)
Have gloves and mittens available to protect hands.
After your child sees first-hand (literally) how such a simple thing as salt can have such a big effect on ice, she'll be looking at the world wondering how other objects interact. Without even knowing it, she just conducted a science experiment and art project all in one!

Air Bags didn't deploy in 4 flip car accident?
Dillon
'm 16, this morning me, and my 2 friends checked out of school to go eat lunch like most kids do, both of them my age as well, I was going down a road I was unfamiliar with, lost control around a curve, the car, a 2003 ford explorer sport-2 door (not sport trac). The car hit a road sign head on, then being top heavy, flipped 4 times, the seat belts didn't lock for me and the other front seat passenger, my friend in the back didn't have his seat belt on due to state laws, and stupidity, he was ejected, for the record, we are all okay except for a few stitches, we are very lucky but I was concerned because the airbags didn't deploy and the seat belts didn't lock.
okay, get the damn computer, tell me, and ford, the trooper himself didn't even give me a citation for the accident because he was in disbelief, I said the one in the back wasn't wearing a seat belt, up front we was, I am concerned that my vehicle didn't deploy the air bags in an accident that could have and should have been severe, if your so sick to think I am making it up then you have problems.
Answer
The air bags are not supposed to deploy in a roll over collision.
Air bags are NOT nice soft comfy pillows.
They are rough membranes filled with hot gas that deploy at you at hundreds of miles an hour.
The air bags are triggered to deploy by sudden deceleration. Picture: car traveling 35 mph hits brick wall head on.
Since your car flipped 4 times - you did not have the sudden stop. The energy from the collision was disbursed as the car flipped. Air bags do not usually deploy in a roll over.
The brains of the air bag system are under the drivers seat. The Air Bag Control Module recorded the event and determined that it was not appropriate for the air bags to deploy.
Since the only injuries you and your friends have are " a few stitches" then the system did exactly what it should. Most likely the stitches were required because of flying glass and the air bags don't help you with that. Your friend who was ejected was incredibly lucky. It's possible for an ejected passenger to get rolled over by the car, hit objects (suck as trees) and be killed or even be decapitated as they are ejected.
An unbelted passenger who is not ejected can easily break their neck (hang mans fracture) on the roof of the car or even cause injury to the restrained passengers as his body is thrown around the car in the roll over. In a roll over, anything that is not belted down can become a missile and cause injury to the restrained passengers.
As far as the seat belts go - when they lock the don't lock you in the seat. There is still a little bit of play in the belt. When the car goes upside down, your bottom may come out of the seat a few inches. However, you won't slam into the roof of the car and break your neck. You won't get ejected.
A car flipping 4 times is a severe accident. There is no "could have" about it. However, the safety systems in the car performed exactly as they should have and some cuts and bruises are the only injuries.
You lost control of the car in the curve because you took the curve too fast. The posted speed limit is set so that you can travel that curve for the first time and navigate it safely. If you were keeping attention on the roadway and traveling at or below the posted speed limit - this accident should not have happened.
If the trooper did not give you a ticket - then you caught another lucky break. This accident is your fault. Period.
The best thing you can do at this point is to cooperate with your insurance company in the investigation/defense of the accident and to learn from the experience. Never start the car until all passengers in the car have buckled up. Make sure to drive with in the speed limit. And don't try to do other things while driving- that includes no texting, talking on the phone, messing around with your passengers etc. And of course, never drink and drive.
