Heads Up, Seven Up!

Heads Up, Seven Up! is a classic game played in classrooms for decades. You don’t need anything in order to play, just a large group of people. Here are the rules:

 

What You Need:

  • A classroom of kids
  • Teacher/leader

Instructions:

  1. The teacher chooses seven kids to come to the front of the class. These kids are “it.”
  2. The teacher says “Heads down, thumbs up, it’s time to play seven up!”
  3. The kids put their heads down on their desks, and put their thumbs up in front of them.
  4. The kids who are “it” then walk around the room, and each person who is “it” puts down the thumb of one person in the room.
  5. Once the activity is complete, the kids who are “it” go back to the front of the room.
  6. The teacher then says, “Heads up, seven up!”
  7. Everyone then raises their head and the kids whose thumbs were pressed stand up and have to guess who did it.
  8. If the person guesses correctly, they get to exchange places with the person who chose them. If they are incorrect, they sit back down.
  9. Once all of the guesses have taken place the game is repeated, starting with step 2.
  10. Remember, no peeking! Enjoy!
