The document describes a physical education game called "Mrs. Mc Gonagal, what are you cooking?". In the game, one student acts as Mrs. Mc Gonagal and stands behind a line while the other students stand in front facing them. The other students ask "Mrs. Mc Gonagal, what are you cooking?" and she responds with an item like "three big apples". The other students then take that number of steps forward. If she says "little children" the other students run to the other side to avoid being caught. The goals of the game are for students to practice naming fruits, asking and answering simple questions, reacting quickly, and developing vocabulary.
