Game Description:
A creative way to get kids to follow your actions
Objective:
Follow the leader.
Game Rules:
Tell the kids that the yellow balls are bees. Ask them to give their bee a name and to shout it out! Tell them that first you are taking the bees for a walk, and have them follow you in a circle. Ask the kids to buzz and flap their wings like a bee. After walking, have the kids, "show their bee how to run!" From here, you can move into skipping, galloping, hopping on one foot, hopping on both feet, etc. Then, get the kids to stand still and copy you as you throw the bee as high as you can in the air and catch it. Then, have them throw their bee as far away as they can and catch it. Then, have them kick their bee and run and retrieve it.
