Follow the Leader

Materials:


 * N/A

Instructions:


 * Students sit in a circle and one student is selected to wait outside the classroom. While that player waits outside, the other students decide on one of them to be the 'leader.' The leader makes a repetitive motion, such as clapping hands, stomping feet, snapping fingers, etc. that every student in the circle must then repeat in the same rhythm. Whenever the leader decides to change the motion he or she is doing, all other must follow and start repeating the same motion. Once everyone is ready, the student who was outside comes back into the classroom and must stand in the middle of the circle. This student must try to guess who is the leader by looking around the circle and noticing who is the first person to change motion. Usually, the guessing player has three chances, after that, he or she is "out." If the leader is guessed correctly, the guessing student sits in the circle and the leader becomes the new guessing student and waits outside the classroom for the next leader to be decided.
