Game: Giants, Wizards, and Elves
Number of kids: at least 4, but best for larger groups.

How the game is played: This is a whole-body game based on Rock, Paper, Scissors. Before you begin, explain these rules to the players:

Giants conquer wizards. To be a giant, raise your arms high above your head.
Wizards conquer elves. To be a wizard, make a triangle with your arms over your head (like a wizard hat).
Elves conquer giants. To be an elf, place your hands alongside your ears with index fingers extended.
Divide the kids into two teams with a space of about 4 feet between them. Direct each team to retreat a few feet for a huddle to decide which they will be: giants, wizards, or elves

It's very important to tell the direction and demonstrate the game to students clearly!
For example,

Teacher: Ok, before playing the game, I will tell you the direction.

- You make a group of 3.
- I will give word card to student1. Student2 and student3 can’t see word card.
- Student2 and student3 ask about the word card.
- Student1 can answer Yes/No or give a hint.

- Student2 and student 3 draw the picture relate to the word card.

Teacher: This is the example of the conversation.

Example: Student1: (Get the word card “Mineral.”)
Student2/3: Is it important for blood?
Student1: No
Student2/3: Is it give bone and teeth strong.
Student1: Yes
Student2/3: (Student2/3 draw the picture of eggs, meat, and
guess what the nutrient it is.)
Student1: (check the answer.)

Teacher: I will demonstrate how to play the game for you. Who want to be a volunteer?

I think more and more kids are playing video and computer games
- especially ultra - violent ones that are top sellers.
Research shows that children are also spending increasing amounts of time playing them:
an average of 13 hours per week for boys and five hours for girls.
A recent content analysis by the research organization Children Now shows that
a majority of video games include violence and about half of the violent incidents
would not result in serious injuries or death in the "real" world.
