Need a quick game to rest and refresh your student's brain? Try this Q and A Body Game:Purpose: Promote body awareness, motor skills and listening skills.
Materials: none
Activity: This can be played with one player or a group of children. The adult faces the group. Explain the directions of the game. The adult is going to ask the children to move certain body parts based on questions. The children are not to answer the questions. They should move the body part that is the answer to the question.
Here is an example:
