LAUNCH LESSON
Play age appropriate board Game
OR PLAY AH SO GO
play Ah So Go as a group. Have students sit in a circle facing inward. The first player shouts “Ah!” while saluting across their forehead with either their left or right hand, with their fingers pointing to the player next to them. That player then says, “So!” while placing their hand on their chin with their fingers pointing to the player next to them. The third player, who was just pointed to, says, “Go!” while clapping their hands together and pointing with hands together across the circle to any other player. This player then restarts the sequence with “Ah” and a salute. If a player makes a mistake and either says the wrong word or does the wrong motion, they are out. Start slowly, and build up the pace as you go. Remind the kids that they have to follow the rules and go in the proper order. The game ends when only two players remain.
EXPLORE LESSON
Why do we have rules?
You all did a good job following the rules to play the games!
Follow the slides in the powerpoint and allow students to answer those questions. Maybe write some in the white board as a way to show all the rules we have in place to ensure our safety, respect for others and civility.
It seems like there are rules everywhere!
Rules help us get along nicely with one another and to stay healthy, safe, and happy.
