Scatter out several hula hoop s around the play area. Assign taggers to freeze the other players. Students inside a hula hoop can not get frozen, but can only stay long enough to count to Only one child per hula hoop is allowed. Draw the layout with the chalk — From bottom to top— 3 single squares, 1 double square, 2 single squares, 1 double square, 1 single square.
Number the squares. The two basic rules of hopscotch are: 1 One foot in each square only 2 Hop over the square with the rock in it. Use a rock to throw into the first square. Hop on one foot over the square with the rock in it. Land with two feet on the double squares. On the second turn, throw the rock into the second square, and so forth.
The tricky part is staying on one foot when the rock is in one of the side-by-side squares. You will need some flags or a strip of cloth to be used as a tail. Players with the most tails collected at a specified time are the winners. Game is good in the gym or outside. Divide the children into teams. They each select one child from each team to be the prisoner of the other team and the two prisoners are placed in jail.
This can be a designated area or a chalk box if playing outside. The teams each line-up and the object of the game is to free the prisoner from the other team. If tagged, that child then becomes a prisoner too and must go to jail. If a child makes it to jail, however, he or she is safe as long as he is inside the prison.
Have children pretend to be gold miners. Paint very small rocks, gold. Hide them in the sand. Give your children small sifters to sift through the sand looking for gold. You can call this game anything you want. An idea is to use brown and green yarn and call it snakes and worms…. Form two teams with one or two kids on each side as captains.
They will tie each yarn piece that is brought to them, to the next yarn piece. The team with the longest finished yarn string wins! Idea: This game would also be good for a party —and adapted to the inside.
All the children line up side by side except the player who is the caller. The caller stands at a distance from the lined up players.
He calls on each player in turn to take a number of steps toward him. The steps allowed are: baby steps, giant steps, and scissor steps like forward jumping jacks. If the player forgets to ask permission after they get directions— and takes steps toward the caller— they are sent back to the starting line. The first player to reach the caller is the winner and new caller.
Idea: Change the name to the season: Teacher May I? Santa, Snowman, Cupid, Leprechaun, Bunny, etc. A nature scavenger hunt card game. Great for getting kids involved in the outdoors. Pass out an equal number of cards to each player and the first one to collect all their cards items win! Tic-tac-toe can be scratched in the dirt and is more enticing than on paper—Hangman, too. Or just spread a blanket on the grass for Monopoly or Candyland played in a whole new venue…. The game could be considered a reverse form of dodgeball—instead of trying to hit people in the middle with the ball, players attempt to keep the ball away from them.
The basic game is played by drawing a circle on the ground about ten feet in diameter. One person stands in the center the monkey, the piggy or the pickle and the rest stand outside the circle. This continues until the person who is it catches the ball or gains possession due to a failed catch, etc. Whoever threw the ball last then becomes it, and replaces the person in the middle. Adapted from: wikipedia. Another great idea is to make paddles simply taping tongue depressor sticks to the back of paper plates.

Best for age 7 and over. Although not a game as such, I decided to include this here as it is such a good "getting to know you" activity for a group or class of children. This is a game that shows children that they are unique but also allows them to see things that they have in common. It works best in smallish groups about 10 of year olds. This is a good game for younger or shyer children who may find it difficult to talk confidently to a group. It is a perfect ice-breaker game.
It works best with children aged 5 and over. This is a particularly good game if you have a few new members joining a group.

This is a well known game - and it can get a bit dangerous with older children! But it works well with children aged ish and it can be a fun way to break the ice.
Keep a careful eye on it though, and only play if you are sure that the children will keep it under control. This is a lovely game for a group of children or a family gathering.
