Matchbox Noses
This is a silly game and it doesn't last long, but it makes
for a funny few minutes and kids seem to love it!
Age: 5+
You will need:
The sleeve of a matchbox for each player (less if you play the
variations below).
How to play:
The children kneel down on the floor and put their hands
behind their backs. Stand a matchbox sleeve on its end on the floor in front of
each child.
At your signal, the children must bend forward, without using
their hands, and manoeuvre the matchbox onto their nose!
Variations:
1. Play this in partners. Each pair kneels opposite each other
with a matchbox sleeve on the floor between them. One player has to manoeuvre
the matchbox onto their nose and then transfer it to their partner's nose - with
no hands.
2. Play in teams. The first two players in the team kneel
opposite each other, with the matchbox between them. At your signal the first
player manoeuvres the matchbox onto their nose, then passes it to the next
player's nose and moves out of the way. The next player comes forward, kneels,
and the matchbox is transferred again ... and so on until it reaches the last
player.
Hints:
Make sure that an adult supervises and reminds the kids to
keep their hands behind their backs!
Watch carefully - some children find this painful.
Avoid if any child has an obvious cold or runny nose!
