about the game

This game is quick and easy to play it can last up to 8 minutes as Children love to make up different versions of the game.

Equipment: None

o   Arrange the group into two teams

o   Standing in two lines (quite close) facing each other  in the centre of the room

o   Name one team the ‘Rats’ and the other the ‘Rabbits’

o   When the coach shouts either Rats or Rabbits the team  must run to the wall before being caught by someone on the other side

o   If they get caught they join the other team

Tip: When you say Rats or Rabbits exaggerate the R at the beginning of the word then say the word quickly this gets the group excited

Mix the game up a bit by:

o   Getting the group to sit down

o   Choosing their own names let the group get creative suggest they use names of fruits or animals

Instead of shouting out the name hold up a piece of card with the name on (Link to the Chinese New Year and hold up a name saying Dog or Donuts!)
