Have you heard of the "Heads Up Seven Up" game? This is a game I played when  was a young student about 40 years ago. I checked this out today to see if the game is still played. I couldn't believe it still is. Since it's February and day's playing outside are limited, I wanted to share an old time game that has been played for over 40 years is still in the classroom.

Here are the rules if you have forgotten or just need a refresher! Have fun! 

Seven students were in front of the class. The class laid their heads on their desk. The seven went out and each touched a person. That person would stick his or her thumb up. Then the seven would say "heads up seven up" and each student got one chance to guess which of the seven touched him If they guessed right than they changed places. If they did not the same person got to stay up.

OR

Played inside a classroom...everyone puts their heads down on their desks and extends one thumb. The teacher chooses one person as "It." He/she goes around touching the thumbs of six people. If your thumb is touched, you go to the front of the room. When this has been accomplished, "It" yells, "Seven up!" Everyone raises their heads and has to guess which of the seven people is "It."
