This easy game needs to equipment and tires the kids out
quickly!
All the children kneel on the floor in a ring with their hands
on each other's shoulders.
One is chosen to be the "rabbit". The rabbit walks around the outside of the
ring. He chooses one of the children as he passes them and taps them on the
shoulder. That child then has to chase the rabbit around the ring and try to tag
him before the rabbit can kneel down in the child's space.
If the rabbit succeeds, the other child becomes the new
rabbit. Otherwise, the original rabbit has another go.
Call My Bluff
This is a fun word game (made famous by the TV show) which can
help children to learn new words, practise dictionary work and presentation
skills! It works best in a classroom or large group setting, and you will need
time to prepare.

know each other at the beginning of the school year.
Fishing (Tiu-u or Chinese Dominoes) This game of Chinese dominoes sounds a little complicated to
begin with but is in fact very simple to play. The name ‘fishing’ comes from
the idea that players ‘fish’ for matching dominoes. You can either print out
our dominoes or make your own more authentic version with popsicle sticks
(instructions included!)
Matching Game cards can be used to play Memory
(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own. Printable Games
