Social Red Rover Group Activity

Social Red Rover Group Activity

Group Activity Idea - Social Red Rover

Purpose: Promote motor skill development, cooperation and social skills.

Materials: none

Activity: Divide the group up into two teams. Place one team on one side of the room and one team on the other side of
the room. Just like Red Rover the teams call friends over - i.e. "Red Rover, Red Rover send John right over". John then
walks, hops, jumps, crawls or runs over to the other team. Instead of trying to break through the other team's line create an
activity that John must perform. Try Hi-5's to each player, shaking hands with each player or hugs to each player.
Continue playing allowing all the children to take turns switching teams. See if the children can think of other ways to greet
each other. If you have equipment available, you could set up an obstacle course in between the teams for the children to
negotiate as they change teams.
