Does anyone have any good ideas for playground games?
You don’t say which you have already – some favourites from my childhood:- “Creep Mouse” – one person chosen to be the sleeping cat by usual method of choosing, stands at a given spot facing a wall. The mice positioned at a line a few yards away, attempt to creep up on the cat without the cat noticing. Cat turns round whenever he feels like it to check if there are any moving mice. Any seen moving drop out to sideline. Others continue to creep up. Winner is the one who reaches the cat and touches them calling “Creep Mouse”. Is rewarded with a tit-bit (a small sweet, etc) by the cat. New cat is the first to have been side-lined. “Please Jack may we Cross the Water?” We used to play this across the street “river” where we lived! Chosen Jack stands in the middle of the river, everyone else on one “bank”. They call “Please Jack may we cross the water?” Jack replies “only if you are wearing the colour (red/blue, etc. anything he chooses)” and those with that colour stroll across the others
