Rock Day

Objective:
The students will participate in a game of "Turn to Rock".

Materials

• Music
• A wide open space allowing for movement

Procedure

1. Explain to the students that there will be music playing.  They should dance and move about while the music is playing.  Once the music stops (done by the teacher), they should "turn to stone" by freezing their movement.

Other Lesson Ideas

1. Play a rock toss game.  This may be combined with a math lesson.  Have small rocks available and either containers (such as plastic bowls) labeled with numbers, or chalked off numbers.  The students should toss the rocks into the containers, or areas, and add up their "score".
2. Play Hopscotch, using a small rock as the marker.
3. Play Hot Potato with a rock.
