Number of players: This game works best with group sizes of 7+ children It takes a similar concept, but turns it into a team game. With the end goal in mind, the game is played until everyone chooses the same character, rather than trying to eliminate one another like you would in Rock, Paper, Scissors. Similar to “Rock, Paper, Scissors”, someone says “Alien, Tiger, Cow” and all players choose a character to imitate. Cow: Bend over and hold one hand on stomach while saying “moo”.Tiger: Hold one hand out like a claw and say “Roar!”.Alien: Hold index fingers upright against head while saying “Bleeb Bleeb”.The goal of this game is to get every player to be the same character: alien, tiger, or cow. Skills developed: This game encourages children to work together as a team and develop early observation skills. Number of players: This game is suitable for 3-5 children to play together You can get creative in selecting which props are available, but sometimes the funniest results come from the most boring items. An example would be using a shoe as a telephone. The idea is to use the prop in an original or humorous way. In this game, one child chooses a prop and performs a short demonstration for an audience using the item for a purpose other than its intended use.

Skills developed: This game encourages creativity and “out of the box” thinking in children. Play time/length: 3-5 minutes per demonstration One person acts with the prop and two or more people can guess. Number of players: Children can play this game in pairs, but small groups work well too. When played quickly, this game is great for encouraging free-flow thinking. For example, Child 1 could say “Once…”, Child 2 could say “Once upon…”, Child 3 could say “Once upon a…”, and so on. When playing in a group setting, children sit in a circle and in turn, they add a word to fit into the narrative after repeating the words that came before. In this game, children work together to tell a story.
