My school is having somekind of games day on Thursday, May 3 and the director asked me to organize a game for the kindergarden kids.

She said about 30 minutes and there are about 50 kids total

1 class(youngest) : 10 kids
2nd class (2nd youngest): 13 kids
3rd class: 20 kids
4th class(oldest): 16 kids

The room is not that big, so any idea, it can be all the kids together, or each class seprarately.

Any ideas would be appreciated, again, these are kindergarden kids with limited english skills.

You can never go wrong with dodgeball.

visit one or two 990 won stores and you are sure to come across the 'MAGIC BALL'..

its a little ball with suction cups all over it that will stick to white boards, usually comes with two hand targets (which I throw away).

So you draw a big target on the board and get them to line up and try to hit the middle. If one hits it you throw them in the air as high as you can without causing too much injury.

Kids absolutely love this game and will recite shakespeare if you hold the ball in front on them long enough.

I got a plastic ring toss from my local discount store for about 2,000 won.

I haven't used it yet though

bump,

yes im still not sure of a good game, these kids are young. The other day I had a really good place and I figured hey lets play a game at the end. Musical Chairs didn't work out, the bigger kids were trying the smaller one's, pure disaster.

Do you have a enough room for Duck, duck Goose? My kindy kids would play that for two hours if I let them.
Another one they like is where we play music and tey have to walk around or dance or act like a monkey or whatever you tell them to do. Then you pause the CD and call out a number. The kids must get in groups of that number. If there are any kids left out of a group, they are out. Play until there are three kids left, call out "two" and then the two that group together first are the winners. It can be a little sad to watch them push kids out of their groups, but all the kids love it anyway.

Oh, I know another one that is hilarious. Buy those onion ring chips (like Funyons from america) and tie them onto strings. Tie all those stiring to one long string, so you have a bunch of funyons hanging down from this string. Put the kids into two teams and have a relay. The kids have to come up to the string with their hands behind their back and eat teh funyon. NO HANDS! Its hilarious and is probaly more fun for me than them, although they like it too.

ANother relay is to have two trays. Put flour in the trays and some candies (gummi something or a chocolate ball, something of a decent size) and the kids have to come up and get a piece of a candy off the tray without hands. Funny again b/c they always come up with flour all over themselves. Just have a bottle of water handy in case a kid starts to cough from inhaling too much flour.
