Using a dart gun in class. E.g:
"This is a game I use while teaching animals. I have several different groups of preschool and elementary aged children, and this is particularly appealing to boys - as I believe boys learn better while being active! And believe me, my groups love it!
I simply divide the children into two teams. I then draw a line on the floor (with masking tape) and instruct the children to stay BEHIND the line at all times. Then I line up various rubber animals on a table and give each team a dart gun (I have some nice ones that shoot foam darts - so it is VERY safe). Then I call out the name of one animal. The team gets 1 point if they shoot the correct animal."
