I'm supposed to teach a lesson on "American games" to 6th graders tomorrow. Like, that's the whole lesson

You could also do a simple hand-slapping game; those are more about the rhythm than the words, anyway.

And, as someone with younger brothers, I've found that 6th grade boys can have a surprising amount of fun with hand-slapping games.

why not do Battle Royalle?

Or perhaps 4-Square? (they probably do that already). Freeze tag? Simon Says? Island Tag? Red Rover?

I was going to suggest MASH... never underestimate how fascinating 6th grade japanese boys will find topics like how many babies they're going to have...

They just like to yell stuff sometimes, too... you could hide something in the classroom and have them yell hot and cold while somebody looks for it? OR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE, SLEEPING LIONS. WHERE WE ALL LIE DOWN AND IF YOU MOVE OR MAKE NOISE, YOU LOSE.
