        Activities/Games for Large Kindergarten Classes           Hello!   
I have 3 large Kindergarten classes- my 5 year olds (18 students), (which is fine), but my 6 year olds- (36 students)!!! and my 7 year olds (30 students)! Each class is 30 minutes.   
I do have my Korean co-teachers to settle the kids down but they do not speak English.  My constant challenge is trying to find games or activities that can include a large majority of students without the rest of the class feeling bored and getting really distracted.   
On the other hand, I have played fun, physical games, but the students can get really overexcited and it can get chaotic fast.   
I have played Bingo-which works well but I was hoping to find some other ideas.  I have tried to split the class into 2 with the Korean co-teacher for certain activities but the lack of communication makes it difficult.   
They are high energy kids and love games but I am having a hard time striking the right balance.    
Any ideas would be appreciated.   
Thanks           |
