Stand the children in a long line and provide a string for them to hold.  Tell them that they will be following a leader and doing everything the leader does.  The leader might wave her hands over her head, march like a marching band or jump over a crack in the sidewalk.  Every 30 seconds, give another child a turn to lead until everyone has had a chance.
