Heads Downs, Thumbs Up!

Two children are chosen to stand up, and all the others put their heads down on their desks with their eyes closed and thumbs sticking up.

The two left standing must then creep around the desks and gently touch one person each on the thumb.

Everyone is then told to open their eyes, and the children who were touched stand up and try to guess which child touched them.

If they get it right, the children swap places. If not, the children have another go.

This game is good to use for settling a class down after a busy day, and it improves their listening skills.
