Morning Meeting Activities


In my opinion Morning Meetings are very important. I came up with some ideas for activities to do with the class for morning meetings.

Morning Meeting Activities 

Everyone hold hands in a line.  Take one hula hoop and the kids have to figure out a way to fit their body through the hoop without letting go of hands. The hula hoop has to go to everyone. The person at the end has to hold up the hula hoop with his free hand for the timer to stop. 
This can be practiced the first time or have it be timed at first time and then see if the children can beat their time. 

Play four corners
If class is loud and talkative play a quiet game. If they are quiet and tired play a louder game to get them excited for the day. 

Class stands in a circle, 
Class Chants, 
Hey Kylee, hey Kylee, what's something interesting you can do?
That person makes up an action such as patting their head and rubbing their belly while talking through the actions explaining to the class how to do it. 
Ex: "I pat my head and rub my belly!"
Then the class has to copy what that person said and did.
 And they chant:
"We pat our heads and rub our bellies!" Then move on to the next person in the circle. 
you can choose if you want every student to take a turn or choose just a few then let the rest of the students have a turn on different days. 

Class claps the syllables of each student's name. Go around in a circle.
