 Re: 3 year olds!
Duck, duck, goose is a good game that children love. They sit in a circle and one child walks around tapping each child on the head as he/she goes by. If you have been teaching them how to count they can use numbers while tapping, for ex: the child can say "one, one, one, two!". When he/she says "two" the child he/she has tapped while saying "two" is the one who must get up and try and catch the first child before he/she gets to the empty space and sits down.
You can use the alphabet (a,a,a,a,b!) or colours (red, red, red, blue!) etc...
If a child is caught, he/she must sit in the middle of the circle and miss just one turn. No more than that because little children tend to get really upset if they have been excluded.
Hope this helps! |
