For Grown-Ups

Have children stand at one end of the room. One child stands at the other end of the room. The idea is to be the first child to get to the other side of the room. Select a piece of music with a moderate tempo. While the music is playing the single turns his/her back on the row of children. While the back is turned the row of children walk at the tempo of the music and try to get as close to the other side of the room as possible. When the single child turns and faces “the racers” they must freeze. If anyone is caught moving they are sent back to the beginning. Repeat as many times as required before one child reaches the other side. Repeat the game again using a musical selection with a very slow tempo. Finally, repeat again using a musical selection with a very fast tempo. This one is so much fun!
