Goal
To get creative and try on different actions, movements and characteristics.
Before You Start
- Have players stand in a space that allows them enough room to move around safely.
- Demonstrate the boundaries of the space.
Set Up
No set up required.
How to Play
- To begin, the leader says the words “I See, I See” and the players freeze. After the players freeze, they will ask the leader, “What do you see?”
- The leader will then say, “I See ______.”
- Whatever the leader says, the players act out in the designated space.
- An example dialogue/sequence for the game:
- Leader: “I See, I See.”
- Players: “What do you see?”
- Leader: “I see a superhero flying in the sky!”
- Players then act like superheroes flying in the sky.
- After the players have successfully acted, the leader will then repeat the phrase, “I See, I See” and the game will continue with new actions.
Variations
- Call out vocabulary words, focus on gross motor skills, or practice numbers and grouping.
- Use the game to reinforce learning a new language.
- Consider choosing motions that involve mobility aids or are completed in a group.
- For older students: Use references to pop culture as well as a focus on an academic application.
