Choose one child to be the spider; the rest are flies.
Tell the children that they are going to play tag, and that
the spider is going to try to catch the fly. Every fly that the spider catches
becomes part of its web, holding hands with the spider and trying to catch the
remaining flies (which can take some co-ordination and concentration!) Each fly
that is caught holds on to the chain and helps catch more flies.
The last player to be caught becomes the new spider.
If your children like making up their own games, you might find
our new printable "money", counters, tickets etc useful. Printable game supplies
Make A Name Book
More of a craft activity than a game, this is a great way for kids to get to
know each other at the beginning of the school year.
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
