Above and Below- A circle elimination game

1. Above and Below

Prep & Props: Create list of items found above and below ground.

Players stand in a circle. Leader calls out names on things that are

Found above the ground or below. When you call something that is above ground, the players stand; if below, they sit down. Failure to do this eliminates the players who miss. (For example, Leader calls out ‘strawberries’, players stand. Leader calls out ‘yams’, players sit). The list of things to be named should be worked out in advance to keep the game going smoothly.

This circle elimination game is great for ages 5 and up.
