This traditional Chinese game is great fun for the playground. You will need
a large group of children - at least 10, but the more the merrier!
Age: Any
The children all form a line with their hands on the shoulders of the child
in front. The first in line is the dragon's head, the last in line is the
dragon's tail.
The dragon's head then tries to catch the tail by manoeuvring the line around
so that he can tag the last player. All the players in the middle do their best
to hinder the dragon's head. Don't let the line break!
When the head catches the tail, the tail player takes the front position and
becomes the new dragon's head. All the other players move back one position.
If your children like making up their own games, you might find
our new printable "money", counters, tickets etc useful. Printable game supplies
Make A Name Book
More of a craft activity than a game, this is a great way for kids to get to
know each other at the beginning of the school year.
Matching Game cards can be used to play Memory
(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own. Printable Games
