If you have a big classroom or can access a large space, divide the students into two teams.  Ask one student from each team "Can you jump, can you run, can you skip, sing, dance" etc (i added actions as i went along). and they have to race to the other end of the space and back doing that action.  (for singing they run there and back whilst singing).  The winner is the first to come back and shout "yes i can"   Silly fun. 

here's a ppt for period 1-low level. :D

Here's a pASS THE BALL GAME FROM THIS WE JUST USE WITH MY CT.

Make a face Race!!

Materials: dice, paper, crayons,
written on the board:
DICE
1=eyes
2=ears
3=nose
4=mouth
5=hair
6=head

-Students are divided into teams. I did 4 teams of 8.
-Each team has a dice, crayons and paper. (mini white boards and markers would also work).
-One students from each team must come to the front of the class.
-The entire class says together "action"
-The teacher proceeds to do an action.
-The students at the front of the class must guess what the teacher is doing. When they know they raise their hand. The first person to raise their hand can answer saying "Can you....?"
-The teacher will then answer "Yes I can" (if they are right) or "No I can't" (if they are wrong).
-If they are correct their team can roll their dice. They can draw the corresponding body part on their paper.
-If they are wrong another student at the front can guess!
-Then those 4 students sit down and 4 new students from each group comes up.
-Repeat until one team has completed a face! That team is the winner!

I got this idea from someone's post for a grade 5 level game. I just changed it a bit to make it work for this grade 3 lesson.

Tips
-I make sure that before studnets can go for a second turn that everyone gets a turn to come to the front.
-Also if students are hesitating to come up I start a count down and if one student from a team is not at the front then that team misses out on that turn. It helps them to try harder. It keeps them focused and talking less because no one wants to miss a turn at rolling the dice.

WOOOOOW!! I really like that Mario Game.. my students lovvvved it too. thank you! 

and a couple other ppt's changed to suit the lessons

Hey, does anyone have the pictures for the strip bingo game?  It is the game in the book for part 1.

Thanks for sharing the "Can You Can You" video. My classes LOVED it. "Teacher. One more time. One more time." haha. It'll be a good go-to video in the future when I need to reward them or kill time.

Thanks!

Hi, could someone please explain how you play the Mario game? I'm a little lost.
