Cooperative games for K-3 (P.E.)

["Coral D. Antony (904)481-2444" <ANTONYC@MAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

Dear LM_NETTERS:

Our P.E. teacher is in need of cooperative learning games for her P.E.
class. She finds that the children have trouble playing together and
wondered if by starting these games early in the elementary school she
could change the way they approach these tasks. For example, in the "Caught
red-handed" game, children sit in a circle and an object is passed from
person to person. Sometimes, fake passes are made. The purpose of the game
is for the kids to work together, without being caught, so that another
student sitting in the middle of the circle can't guess who has the object.
If your school has done anything like this before, or if you know of other
cooperative learning games that can be played at this level (and
appropriate for P.E. curriculum), please contact:
jacksoa1@mail.firn.edu   or
antonyc@mail.firn.edu

Thanks a bunch,

Coral
