The Washing Game

Try the washing game with the children in your class. Commands are as follows:

• Skirt – Children sit on floor with legs stretched out wide.
• Trousers – Children sit on floor with legs outstretched together.
• Shorts – Children sit on floor, hugging legs into stomach.
• Dress – Children stand up with legs outstretched.
• Washing machine – Jump up and down on the spot.
• Spin Dryer – Spin around on the spot.

Emily Stephenson also suggested the following additions:

• Socks – bend over and touch toes
• Gloves – bend and stretch fingers
• Scarf – stretch up tall on tip toes
• Hat – walk round with hands on head
• Pants – children wiggle bottom
• Washing machine – children do a forward roll
• Hang out the washing – children bend down and touch the floor then jump up with their arms up

Can your class think of any more?
