Carrot, Carrot, Candy Bar

Classroom Games

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Carrot, Carrot, Candy Bar. Your goal is to tag the student who chooses you before he/she sits down.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select a student as the tagger.
• Before the game begins, everyone will form a circle by sitting behind a short cone.
• When I say, “GO!” the tagger will go around the circle and tap each student’s head lightly and either say, “Carrot” or “Candy Bar”. 
• If you are a, “Carrot” you are safe and remain seated. If you are a “Candy Bar” you must run around the circle and try and tag the tagger.
• If the tagger is tagged, he/she must sit in the middle of the circle.
• If the student does not get tagged, you are the tagger for the next round.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach: Remind students to choose students who have not had a turn.
• Discussion: Ask students to share examples of who they saw doing a good job at encouraging others during the game.
