Feather!
This is a sitting down game, but it can be very noisy! Simple but
fun.
Age: 6+
You will need:
A feather
A tablecloth or piece of sheeting - preferably round, although this is not
essential.
Music player
How to play:
Sit the children cross legged on the floor and ask them to hold onto the edge of
the tablecloth and stretch it between themselves until it is tight. Drop the
feather into the centre.
When you start the music, the children begin to tip the
tablecloth (although they must remain sitting at all times) and blow frantically
to keep the feather away from them. When you stop the music, whoever the feather
is nearest to gets a penalty letter (we play with "duck", as a duck could have
produced the feather, but you can use "pig" or "donkey" or whatever you wish,
depending on how long you want the game to continue). If the feather touches a
child at any time, even when the music is playing, they also get a letter.
The game ends when one child completes the word.
NB: We have found that playing this way - with no apparent
winners and no real loser - is popular with children, who tend to laugh when one
of their friends gets another letter.
