Ski Game!
This is a method of counting how many points teams have
in a game. It is similar to the Grand
Prix Game or the Banana Tree
Game.
1. Draw a "ski track" on the board from right
to left. Have several "markers" along the track
(eight markers will last about 20 minutes), and a start
and finish gate.
2. Have a cut out skier and a cut out snowboarder and
place them (using magnets) on the start line.
3. Assign the kids to either ski or snowboard teams. A good way is by starting
with the kid at the near left corner of the room and saying "ski".
Then "snowboard" to the next kid, etc.
4. Say "ski team stand up". Just to make sure
everyone remembers what team they're on!
5 Play something like the Ball
and Music game to select a student. Ask them a
question.
6. If they are correct the skier or snowboarder moves one
space along the track towards the finish.
This is a cool game to play in the winter (its not much
good in June!!)
If time is getting short then make each question worth 2
points instead of one.

This game works well in your classes that like to chat because the teacher
can move the team's skier back to the start line whenever he/she hears
that team talking.
