Game Description:
A fun way to get kids stretching!
Objective:
Use the steps to make a pizza to stretch with kids.
Game Rules:
Have the children sit with their legs out in front of them in a V shape, to create the shape of a slice of pizza. Instruct children to ‘roll the dough’ by moving their hands up and down the slice of pizza. Continue to make the pizza by saying actions such as ‘spread the sauce,’ ‘add the cheese,’ and ‘place the pepperoni.’ Have the children choose different toppings to add on their pizza. Once the pizza is all ready to be cooked have the children bring their legs together and shake them out to cook the pizza.
