Does anyone have any good ideas for kindergarten P.E. games? I don't know what I'll do when they tire of duck duck goose and fireball.

How long is your lesson for?

Red Rover? Simon Says?

We've also played those two. Any other ideas? P.E. is about 25 minutes.

Rounders? Baseball but with a soccer ball.

How much space do you have?

Red light, Green Light

Ghost (a variation of tag, where instead of being "it" the person who is "it" is "the ghost", when you get touched you become "the ghost")

i used to teach these for experiential learning, but they're pretty much all adaptable to english class. http://wilderdom.com/games/

I don't know how old your students are, but some of mine are 2 or 3 years old, so I have to play INTENSELY simple games with them. Like, some of them don't really understand duck duck goose. So we either play some of the most obvious hide and seek ever, play what I've entitled 'chaos tag', or do "stop and go." If I'm playing music, they run. If the music stops, they have to freeze in funny poses. Whoever has the funniest pose gets to take over CD player duty (usually with my assistance). Musical chairs isn't bad either, and they even sort of get it. Emphasis on sort of.
