Silent Ball

 

Have students get into a circle or lines where they can pass the ball to the next person without difficulty. 

Ways to play:

*Divide the team into 2 groups. Give each group a different colored squishy ball. 
If a student drops the ball, they’re out of the game. If they make any kind of sound, they're out of the game. First ball to reach the end wins.

*Play like "Hot Potato". Same rule goes for making a sound or dropping the ball. Your class keeps playing until there is one student left standing (or sitting).

Or come up with your own variation!

Wholesome and Hilarious Parenting Tips

 

1. When I was really young my mom used to tell me a red dot (only visible to moms) would appear on my forehead when I lied. I used to cover my forehead when lying. Well played mom.. well played.

2. When I was a kid my parents told me and my brother about the candy witch. She was a nice witch who came on Halloween night when you were sleeping and took most of your candy, but left a present in return. So my brother and I got to keep 10 pieces of candy and the rest went to the candy witch, and when we woke up we had awesome presents waiting for us. And that’s how my parents got to eat all our candy and prevented us from eating a s**t ton. Super smart and will be using on my own kids.

3. My mom always told my brother and I that the car couldn’t work if we didn’t latch our seatbelts. She even faked a break down and pulled over on the side of the road when she caught us trying to sneakily unlatch to test her claim lol

4. When I was little (think six or seven) I was terrified of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. It just so happened to be one of my dad's favorites. So, to help my sister and I get over our fears, he used some positive reinforcement. Every time we got on the ride, we would find a silver dollar next to us. Dad said the pirates had given us some of their treasure. It took me an embarrassingly long time to put two and two together. I thought every kid got treasure.

5. My mom used to say: If I didn't cover my mouth while yawning, a bug would crawl into it. As stupid as that sounds, I still cover my mouth to this day.
