Pick someone to be Simon. Simon is the leader.
Everyone else forms a line or a group facing Simon.
"Simon says" (hop on one foot, clap your hands, run round in
circles, stand still, jump up and down,laugh out loudly, etc,) one
command at a time . The person that doesn't do it, or is too slow
to do it is eliminated until you end up with just one winner. Or
keep everyone "in" and do not eliminate anyone. This will keep
everyone happy :-)
Give each player a tennis ball. They put the tennis ball between
their knees. All players have to jump a certain distance
(determined before game begins) with the tennis ball between their
knees. If the ball falls out or down, the player goes back to the
beginning and places it between their knees again then continues to
jump. The first player who reaches the finish line is the
winner.
One person in this game plays the "stop light" and the rest try to
touch him/her.At the beginning, all the children form a line about
15 feet behind from the stop light.The stop light faces away from
the line of kids and says "green light". The kids are allowed to
move towards the stoplight to try and touch him.
At any point, the stop light can say "red light!" and turn around.
Anyone caught moving once this happens, is out.
Play continues when the stop light turns back around and says
"green light".
The stop light wins if all the kids are out before anyone is able
to touch him/her.
The first player to touch the stop light wins the game and becomes
the "stop light" for the next game.
