Here's a quick and easy game for you to play with students this week. All you need is a big room/open space, and folding chairs.
Split your group in half, and get them to each grab a chair. Have them take their chairs to opposite ends of your gym/room/field/whatever, and sit down in them in a line facing the team on the other side. Assign two leaders to be in charge of each side, standing behind the row of chairs.
On your go, have them stand up and run to the other side and sit down in an open chair. Here's the twist - each round, the leader who was standing behind the chairs will pull one out when you say "go". That way, there is one less chair than there are students, and therefore one person won't have a seat and will be eliminated. Keep playing until there's a winner from each team!
NOTE - remind students that this is NOT a contact sport and that their not out for blood! Other than that, have fun!
