UNO video camera warm up

Up to 10 minAll agesCards

How to play

A high-energy 5 to 10 minute warm up where UNO cards tell students to move like a video camera: play, rewind, fast forward. Sound effects are encouraged and it builds a fun atmosphere fast.

  1. Version one: pick a card and call out the movement for everyone to do around the playing area.
  2. Yellow is running, green running backwards, blue side to side, red hopping, skip is skipping.
  3. Reverse means the last movement in reverse; draw 2 means the previous movement in fast forward.
  4. Wild is crawling on all fours; wild draw 4 is squat thrusters until the next card.
  5. Version two: every 30 seconds each student draws their own card and does that movement for 30 seconds.
  6. Encourage video camera sound effects to match each movement.
