All you need for this game is a circle of children with lots
of energy! This is an old favourite.
This children sit around in a circle, facing each other. One
child is chosen to be "it" first.
That child who is "it" stands up and walks around the outside
of the circle tapping each child on the head and naming them "duck". At some
point he chooses a child to name "goose" instead, at which point the fun begins.
The goose must now jump up and chase the first child around
the circle, trying to tag him before he can sit down in the goose's place. If he
tags him, the first child has another go. If he fails, he becomes "it".
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
