Grouping of Students:

Materials Needed:

• No materials necessary
• Teacher should have questions prepared that can be answered with a number

Directions:

1. Students will walk around the room in all directions and areas.
2. Teacher will yell “Freeze!”
3. While students are frozen, the teacher will ask a question that has a number answer. (If a question needs to be asked that doesn’t have a number answer, assign each answer a number.)
4. Students then group themselves with people around them according to the correct answer. (Ex. How many primary colors are there? Students would then get in groups of 3.)
5. Students that do not have a group go the Lost and Found. This can just be a circle in the middle of the class.
6. A student in the Lost and Found then gets to ask the next question. The teacher may provide them with a question if needed.
