They wonder around the room while music is playing. They shake hands, and exchange the cards as they go. When I turn the music off, they have to quickly find the person with whom they match. I can also use that game when I'm doing math facts. I've also used that game for vocabulary where they take a word and a definition and they mix and match.
Corners is another game that the students really like.
I used it with punctuation. There was a question mark, a period, an exclamation point and a quotation mark set up around the classroom. They have to share why they feel that way, and they have to use it appropriately in a sentence. Yes, and I think that s because everyone in the classroom is seen as belonging. They see each other as different, but they celebrate the differences rather than focusing on them in a negative aspect.
