ABOUT THIS GAME:

This month I thought let's have something different. So here is a sequence game called 'One Behind'.

It's a terrific concentration builder as well as one of those games where children love to rise to the bait that challenges their powers of concentration.  


AGE RANGE:

8-11 years (Years 4 - 6)


POSTURES:

 Use your sequence as long as it's constant ... or use mine 


SKILLS:

Sequencing & Concentration 


RESOURCES:

Game Card if you use my sequence  


LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  • Can I concentrate on the sequence , even when the teacher tries to distract me 

WHAT TO DO

Teach the sequence over a few weeks till they know it well. 

Explain to class that you will lead the sequence. That you will  begin by saying and doing the first posture, upon which they will do and say nothing . Then, when you have said and done the second posture in the sequence they will say and do the first posture. In other words they will be ONE BEHIND.

Repeat.

You could ask one of the children to lead. 

Extensions  
1. Two behind
2. Three Behind, and if you are very, very brave 
3. Four & Five Behind . 

They will love this
