Play Children's Games:

There are some great children's games that seem to have been
around forever! Children love playing games, and with you joining
in...they'll grin from ear to ear! If you have an idea for an activity that
you'd like to see listed here, let us know! You'll get full credit for

Ring Around the Rosie: Children hold hands and sing, "Ring around
the rosie, a pocket full of posies. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down!". Then
they all softly fall to the ground.

Hide and Seek: The chosen child hides his/her eyes and counts to
ten, while the other children find a hiding place. At ten, the chosen
child searches for the hidden children; when one if found and
"tagged", it's their turn to hide their eyes.

Red Light, Green Light, 123: Chosen children who play this game
turn away from the other children playing the game. While he/she's
turned around they yell, "Red light green light, one two three!", and
then they turn around to face the children who are running closer
and trying to tag him. If anyone's caught moving when the chosen
child turns around, they have to go back to the beginning.

Indian Chief: Many children sit in a circle "indian style", while one
chosen child leaves the room. One child is chosen from the circle to
be the indian chief, and begins doing an action while the others
follow him/her (ie: clapping hands) before the chosen child returns.
The chosen child then returns to the circle and sits down in his/her
spot, and tries to figure out who the indian chief is. The indian chief
leads the other children by doing different actions (such as patting
hands on head, patting legs), and tries not to get discovered by the
chosen child. When he/she's guessed 3 times, the indian chief then
has to leave the room and another chief is chosen.

Simon Says: One child is chosen to be the leader, and starts telling
the other children what actions to do (hands on head, touch your
knees). The children can only follow Simon if he/she says, "Simon
says.." before the action. Whoever follows Simon when he/she
doesn't say, "Simon says..", is out.
May I?: One child is chosen to be the leader. He/she then takes
turns telling the other children which steps to take (baby steps,
giant steps, hopping steps), but the children must ask, "May I?" first. If
they forget, they have to go back a few steps.

Treasure Hunt: Children love to search for things, especially when
they're not asked to! Hide a few "treasures" and then leave a "map"
and hints so the children can have fun searching for the treasure.

Glow Toy: This game is played at night. Toys that glow add a
different dimension to hide and seek. Hide the glowing toy but
leave a part of it showing so it'll be visible to the child searching for
it. Lots of fun to find that glowing toy!
