Touch Something
The teacher says a letter (word, color, shape, object) and the children have to walk around the room and touch something that matches the word.

Whisper and Release
When you ask a question have the students hold up their palm and “whisper” the answer in it before closing their fingers and making a fist. When the teacher says, “Release!” students open their palm and say the answer.
