1, 2, 3, Freeze!

Have the children form a large circle, sitting down, facing inward with the teacher sitting in the middle of the circle.

On the teacher’s command, “1,2,3, Freeze!” all the students in the circle must freeze while sitting.

If a student moves, they are eliminated. Continue playing until only a few students remain.

Students cannot lie down, hold their heads up, or close their eyes. There is no arguing with the teacher when eliminated, and only the teacher can eliminate students.

This is a fun game to play with themes, i.e. Freeze with your coldest, hottest, scariest, ugliest, prettiest, most handsome face (etc.).
