Put on music and encourage children to move the way the music makes them
feel. Tell them when the music stops, they need to look for a friend
to hug. Continue with music, stop, hug another friend, etc.

Let each child pick block. Start the tower by putting one block in the
middle of the circle and have each child add there block one at a time.
Remind them to try to keep the tower from falling over. When the tower
topples start over again. The kids love this one!

Need:
To start one chair for each child
A small group of children
Music
Play this game just like musical chairs, but with a twist. Each time the
music stops and you take a chair out, do not have any children sit out.
They have to share a chair with a friend instead (see musical SHARES). My
kids love this game and ask to play everyday since I introduced it. It
really helps with teaching sharing and is great for preschoolers because
no one is a losers.

Sit the children in a circle holding hands. The teacher starts the chain
of "hand hugs" by gently squeezing the hand of the child next to
her. The child then passes on the hand hug to the next child, etc. around
circle.
