My students get to play in a variety of kinestetic games on their last day of class with me. You can scroll through the pics and view the videos below.  I also have a PPT of my lesson plan at the bottom of the page if you would like to do it in your class

The Art Olympics was an event that I intially got to participate in Coastal Carolina University's Gifted and Talented Summer Arts prorgram. Basically, you get a bunch of games together (we got most of our's off of summer camp games sites). And then I could easily adapt them to the art students. You can watch the video to see some of the games and activites that we used and if you are a teacher, you can use my power point below
