Have you ever played Pass the Pillow? It is one of our favorite inside games. The instructions are below, but before that, please allow me to explain the picture.
A few days after a concert, Jeff likes to reward the students by playing some team-building, fun games. One of these is usually Pass the Pillow. Well, as we were playing this out in the all-purpose room, it got pretty rowdy and loudy, and we were disturbing the other classes. (My classroom opens into the all-purpose room as well, and I can vouch that it can get mighty loud.) So, Jeff said, "Everybody grab a chair and we'll play it outside!" And we did. I think it was twelve degrees out there. We only made it through one or two rounds, and wet, cold pillows were flying everywhere. Then we quietly tiptoed back inside, glad to be warm again. Memories are made when we do something like this :-).
How to play Pass the Pillow
1. An even number of students or humans sit in a circle.
2. They number off -- team 1 or 2 -- so that every other person is on the same team.
3. Two pillows are given out -- one to a person from team 1, and the other to a person from team 2. The pillows should be across from each other on opposite sides of the circle.
4. Someone yells "go" and the pillows pass around to every other person -- the team 1 pillow only to team 1 members, and the team 2 pillow to only team 2 members. (It helps to have different colored pillows.)
5. The first team to pass up the other team's pillow wins.
