How to Play 

  • Let’s form a circle! Remember what number I give you.
  • One person will be “it” and stand in the middle of the circle.
  • I am going to call two numbers. When you hear your number called, switch spots before “it” gets to an open spot.
  • The student left without a spot becomes “it.”

Check for Understanding 

  • What do you do when your number is called?
  • Where do you go if you're left without a spot?
