How to Play
Stand Up Sit Down can be played while students are at their desk or all together in front of the board, or learning from home. You will read the statement on the slide. Students will stand up when the statement applies to them or they agree. They will stay standing until you say “sit down.” The students will remain sitting if the statement doesn’t apply to them. For example: You will read the slide” Stand up if you had a fun summer break.” All the students that had a fun summer break will stand. The students that did not have fun over the summer will remain seated. After a few seconds of standing, you will say “sit down” and then read the next statement. Continue playing until you have done all the slides.
