SQUIRRELS,
NUTS, DETRITUS
Materials
required: none.
No
preparation time.
This
game is appropriate for all ages.
At
least 15 minutes is needed to play this game.
Divide the group into two. Have them line up facing each other, a distance
apart that's enough for running. The groups should "huddle" and decide
on what to be, squirells, nuts, or detritus. When that is decided, the
two teams face each other and on a signal, yell out their choice.
Squirells beat nuts
Nuts beat detritus
Detritus beats squirells
For example, if team 1 yells "Squirell!" and team 2 yells "Nut!", then
team 1 chases team 2 to behind their line at a "safe point" that is pre-determined.
Anyone who is tagged must join the other team.
This is a great run-around-and-have-fun game! It is also a great accompanier
to anything ahve to do with food chains.
