The
Squeeze is Going Around - Outcome C (4-6)-1
This activity is great for a small space or a
lead-up activity to an event or game. Students are seated in a circle.
Each student places their hands, palms up, near their knees and
joins hands with the student on either side.
Students close their eyes and the teacher chooses
someone to start a "squeeze" around the circle. The "squeeze" sent
is a light squeeze or series of squeezes that each student will
receive and then pass to the student beside them. When the squeeze
gets to the last student, everyone opens their eyes. The last student
shares aloud the squeeze received to see how close it is to the
original squeeze.
Select another student to send a different squeeze.
