Instructions
A post-it (‘stickie’) or computer label with a Body Schooling activity on is placed on each pupil’s back.
The pupils move around the hall and on a predetermined cue, pair up. Pupils take it in turns to ask questions that can only have a yes or no answer to them.
Pupils ask one or two questions and then move on. Pupils are trying to guess which activity/action is on their ‘stickie’.
Once they think they have guessed, pupils perform the action.
