Tape Recorder Time!!
Use a tape recorder to record your voice, songs, interviews, or silly noises.
It's fun making a recording, but even more fun listening to it!!!!
Raisin Race
Fill 2 glasses with equal amounts of a clear carbonated beverage. Try to
limit the fizzing. On 'go', each player drops 1 raisin into the glass. It
will sink to the bottom, but will rise to the surface as bubbles collect on
it. The first person with the raisin to the top of the glass, WINS!
Crowd Squeezer
Spread a blanket/sheet on the ground. Pile your family on top so that no part
of any person's body touches the ground beyond the blanket. If your family
was successful, try it again AFTER you have folded the blanket in half. Keep
squeezing, then folding the blanket in half!!! Laughs galore!
Ready, Set, Go!
Use a stopwatch to clock hours of silly contests: How many baskets can you
shoot in 1 minute? How many math facts can you solve in 1 minute? How long
does is take you to blow a perfect bubble with a new piece of bubble gum? How
long does it take to run around the house? ETC
Sprinkler Race
Two players stand on opposite sides of a sprinkler. Each trying to fill a
glass with water first. The catch, you cannot move your feet!!! If you do,
you dump your cup of water over your head!
Write to your teacher!

Get a parent to help cut out a target hole in an old soda (or milk jug)
bottle. Add colored tape, or spray paint, the hole so you can see it from a
distance. Put goggles on to protect your eyes and hand hold this soda bottle
above your head...still!!! Get a friend to shoot a spray bottle into your
target hole which is above your head! Try not to laugh as you get sprayed and
cooled off!
Paper Chase Race
Give each person 2 sheets of newspaper/paper/old magazines/etc. Players line
up across 1 end of the room. Players stand on one paper and hold onto the
other paper. On a signal, each person quickly sets the sheet she/he is
holding on the floor in front of him/her and steps onto it with both feet.
Then, pick up the first paper you were just standing on, set it in front, and
step on it! Keep alternating papers always stepping onto the next sheet with
both feet before moving the other. The first player to cross the finish line
wins
