MUSICAL GROUPS

(for ages 8+)

Ingredients:

  • Music

Prep Time:

  • None

Recipe for Fun!

One child is designated the “caller.” They control the music and call out numbers. Have the other children skip or jump around the room while the music plays. The caller then stops the music and calls out a number (the number must leave one child out). The children must then scramble to get into a group of that many kids. For example, if 10 kids are playing, the caller might say three. The children will then have to get into groups of three, and one child will be out. The game ends when one child is left. They’re the winner.
