Title: Harry Potter
Type: Active Game
Target: “What are you doing?” verbs, commands
Materials: None (or newspaper wands for fun)
Procedure: 1/3 of the students get wands and become Voldemorts. The
remaining wandless 2/3s are Harry Potters. I will give the Harry Potters a 10-
second head start then let the Voldemorts loose. When a Voldemort catches a
Harry Potter, they wave their wand and shout a command at Harry eg.
jump/dance. Harry Potter then has to do that action in the same spot until they
are saved. Remember that this is a wand NOT a hitting stick. If I see anyone
hitting, then you will be removed from the game. To save a Harry, a FREE
Harry Potter must come along and ask "What are you doing?" and the caught
Harry Potter replies "I'm jumping/dancing". With that complete, Harry Potter is
now free and the world is okay again! If no one is coming to save you, you can
yell “Help me Harry!!!” that means someone should go and save them.
