The Body Parts Shape Game is one of my students most well beloved games. I use it for students of all ages. It’s easy to make harder or easier for different age groups. Clearly, my preschoolers won’t be doing this…
But hey, a couple of my high schoolers might be able to pull off a one-handed balancing shape! 🙂 So, without further ado, the Body Parts Shape Game:
Pick a body part paper out of the bag (printable here) and make a frozen shape with only the listed body parts touching the ground. For example, if the paper says 1 head and 2 feet, make a shape with two feet and your head touching the ground, nothing else. If the paper says, 1 foot and 2 hands, make a frozen shape with only 1 foot and 2 hands touching the ground. You may not use your bottom, back, or other foot for balance.
Try to make a shape that is different from everyone else in the room. Hold your shape until I say relax! Give compliments to students whose shapes are truly unique and interesting.
It’s an easy and fun game! Print out my list here: Body Part Shapes
