What are some good 5 minutes games to play with a large group of 3 year olds.?

Games involving movement are loved by all young children. Try warm up style games like calling different words where they have to do certain actions. Here are a few examples: 1. the beans game - shout different beans and they have to do an action corresponding to that ("runner beans!" they have to run around, "string beans!" they have to make themselves into a thin shape, "baked beans!" they pretend to be hot, "French beans!" they say "oo la la!" and so on. 2. The traffic lights game. Green - they have to run, orange - they have to walk, red they stop. 3. duck, duck, goose 4. give them a number while they sit down. When you call their number, they must jump up and then sit back down again. You can call more than one number at once. This will also help them learn the numbers up to 18. I hope this helped!

red light green light is a really cool game for them. i play games i made up for my wild cousin to calm him down the walk freze game (red light green light slow) quiet game (no talking) you can also choose a certan shape draw it big so they can see it and the person who guesses it first wins!

When I taught preschool they always loved color tag. They start at one end of the playground, you call a color and they race to the other end while someone tries to tag them.
