SING AND PLAY A GAME

Play a game:  Students SIT in a circle.

1 student is in the middle of the circle pretending to be the witch.

2 Have the students bend down low to the ground crouching as if hiding from the witch’s spell.

3 Use a prop for the broomstick. On the words “I’ll catch you”, have the witch spin and point the broomstick at a student.

4 Whoever the witch lands on becomes the next witch. This game could be played using a scarf too!
