FEED THE ELEPHANT
|
Set out a box. |
|
Tape a picture of an elephants head sticking up from the back of the open box. |
|
Set out some peanuts. |
|
Let the children take turns tossing peanuts to the elephant. |
 |
Who can get the most peanuts in the box. |
|
As a prize, children get to keep and eat the peanuts they got into the box. |
|
PEEWEE BOWLING
|
Set out ten large empty plastic soda bottles in a triangle shape |
|
Have children stand back about 5 feet and take turns rolling a large rubber ball towards the bottles. |
|
Encourage everyone to count how many bottles fall down with each child’s turn. |
 |
For this game, I would probably only let each child have one roll per turn. |
|
COLOR SPIN
|
Have your children sit in a circle. |
|
Give each child a party hat, (red, blue, green, and yellow). |
|
Set a small soda bottle in the middle of the circle. |
|
Spin the bottle and see which child it points to. |
 |
Then give a small treat to all children wearing that same color of hat. |
|
Keep spinning until all children have had at least one treat. |
|
FISHING GAME
|
Make a small fishing pole with a stick, a string and a horseshoe magnet. |
|
Make some paper fish shapes in four different colors. (Red, blue, green, yellow) |
 |
Attach a paper clip to the mouth of each fish. |
|
Let your children take turns fishing. |
|
Give children a small prize depending on the color of fish that they catch. |
|
COLOR CORNERS
|
In one corner of a room or outside, place a piece of red paper. Then put a blue piece in another corner, a yellow piece in another and finally a green piece in the last corner. |
|
Tell your children to go stand in one of the four colored corners. Children can choose which of the four corners they want to stand in. |
 |
Then place four small folded pieces of paper in a box. Mix them up and draw one of the colored pieces of paper. |
| |
The children who are in that color area are safe, the rest of the children are out of the game and must sit down. |
| |
The safe children must then play the game again, going to any of the four colored corners. |
| |
Mix up all four colored papers again and draw out another paper. |
| |
All the children in the corner the same color as the paper draw are safe. |
| |
Continue the game until there is only one child left. |
| |
If the children want to play the game again, let the winner of the first game stay out of the game and help you draw out the colored papers. |
