Exercise: The children are instructed to sit in a circle. The teacher explains the game to the children. A ball is passed around one by one to each child. Whoever is holding the ball must say their name . By doing so, the children learn each others names and play a game at the same time.
SHAKE HANDS – GREET – RUN
Exercise: The students stand around the outline of a circle and one of them is chosen to be tag. The student who is chosen to be tag walks around the circle, taps the back of one of the other students and then starts to run. The student who has been tapped on the back begins to run in the opposite direction and when they come face to face, they must shake hands and greet each other. Then they run to the empty place where the student was tapped on the back. If the student who is tag reaches the place first, they will not be tag any longer and the other student will be tag.
TOILET PAPER
