Get Active: Cat & Mouse
Friday 21st August 2015Ask to the children to space themselves out around the meeting space, they can stand or sit but must not move about. Nominate or ask for volunteers for a ‘cat’ and a ‘mouse’. The game is all about the cat chasing and catching the mouse, with the mouse trying to escape by sitting in front of another member of the group who then becomes the mouse. While the cat chases the mouse the rest of the group should be standing still or sitting down and should count to 20 slowly. The ‘mouse’ must sit in front of someone else before the rest of the group get to 20, if not then both the mouse and cat have to be changed. If the cat catches the mouse then they swap roles. Once the mouse changes the group needs to restart counting from 1.
