How to play
Basically, all students stand in one straight row. According to if they are right or left handed, that's the shoe they'll slip off a bit. Example: Keira is right handed. So Keira will slip off her right shoe a bit. One of the teachers will say '1...2...3...GO!' When the teacher says 'GO!' all the students will step forward a bit and kick off their 'slipped off a bit' shoe. The student with the shoe kick that's farthest wins.

Toothpaste Challenge
Give the kids either in pairs or as individuals a plate and a tube of toothpaste. The bigger tubes work best. Tell them the challenge is to get all the toothpaste out of the tube as quick as possible. Watch and see how quickly the squirt it onto the plate. Then once the toothpaste it out let them in on the secret. The actual challenge is to see how much toothpaste they can get back in the tube. Almost impossible. Gets really messy really fast. For the most part the toothpaste stays on the plate and all over their hands. Some try to blow into the empty tube of toothpaste to open it back up again. Doesn't work but worth suggesting to see them try. Point of the game is to be careful with your words. They can come out super fast but don't always go back in so easily and can get messy if said in the wrong way.

Hopscotch
Draw the classic numbered court (1 to 10) with chalk. The first player tosses a marker — a flat stone or beanbag — onto square 1, then hops through the court skipping the marker's square: single squares on one foot, side-by-side squares with one foot in each. At the end, turn and hop back, pausing to pick up the marker on the way. Complete the run without stepping on lines or losing balance, then throw for square 2. First player to finish all squares wins.
