Play the traditional children's game “The Hokey Pokey” and add a few twists. Have the children stand with their right or left sides facing in toward the center of the circle. After one round, call out, “Flip.” Everyone turns and faces the other way. In addition to “in and out,” try “put your arm up, put your arm down,” or “point your toe in front, point your toe behind.”  This could be done in large group.
