WAKE UP Identifiers Get your kids thinking about today's session topic from the moment they wake up this morning. Also obtain wide double-sided tape or masking tape. After you push the bread down into the toaster, the kids pass a foot-long strip of tape around the room. Provide pickles, sour cream, Tabasco sauce, olives, sardines, etc. The game leader and mind reader are accomplices who know in advance how the game is played and what the code or trick is.
Kids are to try to guess what the code or trick is.
As soon as someone thinks she has figured out the code, let her try to lead the game correctly. Keep going until most kids have caught on or until you decide to reveal the code. While the mind reader is out of the room, the crowd chooses an object that the mind reader must identify. When the mind reader returns, the game leader points to a variety of objects. Surprisingly, when he or she points to the chosen object, the mind reader correctly identifies it.
