Game Description:
A super fun version of tag!
Objective:
The "Cat" has to chase around and tag all of the "Mice".
Game Rules:
The person who is "it" is the "Cat" and they chase the other children "Mice", and tag the mice. The mice then "fall asleep" lying on the floor in a star shape and don't "wake up" until one of their friends tickles their tummy. The game continues until everybody has had a turn at being the cat or the time limit for the warm up or cool down has finished.
Saftey Considerations:
Make sure that the children are nicely tickling their friends tummies and not being overly aggressive.
Adaptations (optional):
Children can change the type of animals that are used
Progression (optional):
Include more or less "cats" to make the game easier or harder.
