A couple of times a week I like to make time for a classroom game when time permits as well as to close circle time.

Favourite of mine/my class so far include

Heads down, thumbs up (yawn).
Who's missing?
Wink, wink murder
Secret conductor
Golden people
Zip zap
'Apple pie' or whatever other silly word we are using that means the children have to guess who's said the phrase in a silly voice for someone (eyes closed) to guess.
What's the time Mr Wolf?

I'd love some suggestions of games your classes have enjoyed (and a quick idea of how to play them if they aren't well-known). Thanks.

Sorry to trespass in the staffroom (I don't even have a lanyard) but could I ask what 'circle time' is supposed to be?

DS (9) seems to come out a bit miffed, complaining that they 'had to' do circle time, and that it's something to do with 'talking about feelings'

All these games sound much more fun...

2 up
It's a knock out game with 2 coins. All stand up. If they think it will be two heads they stand with both hands on their heads, if two tails then they put two hands on their bottoms. Finally if they think it will be one head and one tail they put one hand on their head and one on their bottom. Throw he coins and reveal the result. If they guessed wrong they sit down. If they are correct then they stay in for the next round. They get a new guess each round. Last person standing is the winner.
