Age: all ages
What You Will Need: Colored chalk or tape and a list of ideas for the game
Set-Up: Mark off 5 circles on the ground that are large enough for 5-8 kids to stand inside of. Make sure each circle is a different color.
How to Play: Gather the kids around the circles and announce the game’s rules. You will call out a color (based on which circle they should run to) and a topic. On the count of three, the kids will run to group up in each circle based on shared interests. For example, you can say, “go to the green circle if you love dogs.”
Then, the kids who love dogs will run to the green circle and wait. Next, you can say, “go to the blue circle if you like chocolate ice cream,” and so on. Continue for up to 15 minutes to allow kids to see what their peers are interested in.
For 6th graders and up, you may use more complicated concepts, for example: Circle up in the green if you do homework in the evening or circle up in the blue is you use Instagram at least 5 hours a day, etc.
