• Web Leader Activity: Apple, Orange and Banana! 🍎🟠🍌

  • Ask your students to form a circle in class. 

  • Students have to put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them. 

  • Next, ask everyone playing to: 

    • jump forward when you say apple

    • jump back when you say orange

    • jump and turn 180 degrees when you say banana & put their hands on the shoulders of the person who was behind them.

• Continue to work on brainstorming for your Crew class's Paper Airplane submission! 

  • • Airplanes will be tested during the Halloween Assembly! 

• Web Leader Activity: Mingle, Mingle Mingle.

• This is a good group game to get kids mingling together and to help kids to get to know one another better. It might provide good conversation starters for kids later on.

• The leader running the game calls out a category question (for example - what is your favourite colour?). 

• Everyone in the group would then have to start calling out their favourite colour to each other and find the others in the group who have the same favourite colour as them. 

• When a player finds another player who has the same answer as them they then join together (by linking arms) and continue to go round the group looking for more people with the same answer. 

• After a minute or so (completely up to the leader running the game) the leader can call "STOP". 

• Each group needs to call out their answer. If there are two people/groups who have the same answer but are not linked together then they are eliminated from the next round. 

• Or alternatively, to keep everyone involved, you can give each kid five wrapped lollies or popsticks to start with and if they lose one each time this happens.

Be creative with the questions you ask & feel free to come up with your own. 

• Favourite colour, school subject , ice cream flavour, season, TV show, band
