IMPLEMENTATION
Before you start:
Gather the group together into a circle and have them hold hands. This circle is called the Cake.
Demonstrate the safe way to cut the cake.
Choose a volunteer to help with the demonstration
The two arms that are connected become theknife, which is used to slice the cake.
Force is not necessary to slice the cake. Students who are forming the cake should allow the knife to slice through without
resistance.
Make sure students understand the importance of safety, control, and awareness.
Sequence of Emphasize that students must work with their partner to be successful. One partner can't pull the other around the circle, they should run
next to each other.
Activities
How to Play:
1. Two people walk around the circle holding hands and decide where they want to "cut the cake". To do so, they use a slicing motion to
gently break the chosen connected hands with their arms, then begin running around the outside of the circle.
2. The two people whose hands were "cut" reconnect with each other and let go of the person on their other side, creating a second pair.
3. The new team has to run in the opposit direction around the circle and try to get back to the open spot before the first pair.
The first team back to the opening becomes part of the circle.
The second team back begins a new round and gets to Cut the Cake. Any tie can be solved with RoShamBo.
4. Continue the game until all students have had a turn.
For EL Students:
Encourage students to speak in their native language. Hopefully there are multiple people in the class that speak the language of the EL

student. They will have the opportunity to help out their classmate.
Also, write out the translation of the instructions and have the student read them.
Differentiated
Instruction For Students with Special Needs:
Allow students to have personal space when they need it.
Pair the student on purpose with someone that I know that they will get along with and who will encourage them to do their best.
Allow student to step out of the game if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious or anything else.
REFLECTIONS
We will stretch and talk about what is to come in the game for the day. Students will be allowed to ask questions during this time as well. We will
Prior to Lesson take about five minutes to discuss any questions that they have. During this time, we will also make sure that the stretches are long and deep
enough to get the students off to a successful start.
We will end the lesson with another stretch session and a discussion on what was easy and hard about the game. I will ask them if they liked it
and if they would be willing to play again. During this cool down time, I will assess the students by asking them how they felt when they were
PostLesson
running and if they felt supported by their team mates. I am sure that getting students to follow directions will be challenging and it may get a little
crazy and out of hand, but we will go with the flow and see where that gets us.
