Up, Down, Stop, Go!

Age Range: 5 - 11
By: Kate Boreham

Children have to listen very carefully!

  • On GO - children must stop still.
  • On STOP - children must move around the space either walking or running.
  • On UP - children must sit or lay down.
  • On DOWN - children must stretch up to the ceiling.

Teacher can catch children 'out' if so desired.

Lovely idea that works every time to cheer up a group. Other commands can be added such as  jump/sit or run/sleep
