In the introduction i also like to have some icebreaker games so the children can meet each other. And also, when they run out of things to do, a game i like to play is english doubles. So there are 4 players on a court. Each player defands a side, if it lands on there side, they get a point, when a player gets to 7 points they are out. Then another player can come and take there place and start at zero. Good luck.
