I have a classroom management question for kindergarten students. What strategies would you try with this age group to "make a circle" for a circle game when many of them have never seen what a circle is? I typically have 20 students in a class at a time and getting them in a circle is a challenge when they have never seen one before. I have tried showing them a visual picture of a circle, but I still have challenges with students not knowing how to make a circle in an open space. If you have any ideas on ways kindergarten students can know how to make a circle, please let me know.  less
