When you just come back from some time off like Spring Break, playing Cross the River is a great way for everyone to find out what everyone did or did not do during our time off. It is quick, fun and gives everyone a movement break.
How do you play, you ask? Read on.
- Have kids write what they did over the break on a note card.
Collect the note cards.
Students line up on both sides of the room.
Read one of the note cards.
Students “cross the river” if it applies to them.
If the message on the card does not apply to them,
the students stay standing on the side of the room.
The class gets to see what they have in common with other students by seeing who is crossing the room with them, or by who is still staying on the sides.
We do 4 or 5 cards throughout the day when we start to notice we need to get up and move.
