EQUIPMENT

Reusable sticky notes

SETUP

Put children in traditional relay race lines. Give each child a sticky note. Each time a child returns back to the line, give them another sticky note. Re-use the sticky notes so you can use them with multiple classes.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before starting, each team must decide on a zoo animal (or other object) they will be trying to create on the wall using sticky notes

2. On ‘go’ the first child in line will run with a sticky note towards the wall at the opposing side of the room.

3. Once they get there the objective is to stick the paper against the wall, then return to the line so the next child in line performs the same role.

4. As a cohesive group working together, the team will begin to form something that resembles their animal with the sticky notes. Each child must use their imagination to create the animal.

5. There is no winner in this activity, just fun working with teammates to create the animal.

MAKE IT EASIER

Teacher can place a picture on the wall that the children can use as a model to follow when posting the notes on the wall

MAKE IT HARDER

Use a different locomotor: hopping, bear crawl, crab walk, bunny hop etc.
