Games
Stand Up, Sit Down
Introduction: Everyone goes through good times and bad times. It
matters how you handle them. Let’s see how well you can handle the
hardships that are thrown at you.
Materials: Index cards
Directions: On the index cards print on each one a hardship that
could happen during someone’s lifetime (make them age appropriate).
(You can also have each student write up some on index cards). Divide
the classroom into two teams. Ask one person from team #1 a hardship
and they must come up with a solution. If it is a good answer, they
stand up. If it is not, they stay seated. Ask one person from team
#2 a question, etc. The game continues from one team to another.
When all have been asked a question, go through the team players again
in order. If the player standing continues to come up with a good
solution to the hardship, they remain standing. If they do not, they
have to sit down. Each time a player answers correctly, their team
receives a point. The highest team score wins.
Last Man Standing
Introduction: Everyone goes through good times and bad times. It
matters how you handle them. Let’s see how well you can handle the
hardships that are thrown at you.
Materials: empty 2 liter soda bottles, one small ball, white paper,
glue, crayons, masking tape or chalk
Directions: Have students sitting at several tables and have them
draw a person on a piece of paper and color it (one person per group
and done as a group project). Students then cut the person out and
glue each one on a 2-liter bottle. Place people bottles like bowling
pins against a wall. Draw a line with chalk or use masking tape to
make a line that the students must bowl behind. Divide the classroom
into 2 teams. Have one line for each team behind the line; the
students stand behind one another in a long line with their team. One
student at a time will roll a small ball at the people bottles to see
if they can handle the hardships that are thrown at them. Each
student gets one roll then goes to the end of their team line. Tally
how many people bottles they knock down for their team. The highest
team score wins.
