Play, Pass the Witch's Broomstick
Students STAND in a circle
Any student who breaks the rules is out. Non-negotiable (aide or sub makes this call, NOT the students)
Rules:
Students must pass to the beat. They cannot hold on to a broom longer or shorter than the beat on purpose.
Students who get "out" fly around the circle holding the broomstick. NO RUNNING
All other students must stay standing inside the carpet so they don't accidentally trip someone
Don't forget: the last verse (4 broomsticks) lasts a bit longer!
They can use colorful boomwhackers as broomsticks (in orange buckets by first entry door)
