Sardines

audl_insperation

A squashy game of hide and seek.

Materials Needed:

• Outdoor space.

What to do:

• One child is chosen to be the “Sardine” and then goes to hide.
• The rest of the children close their eyes and count to 100 (or) 50. Then they all go and look for the “Sardine”.
• As each player finds the “Sardine”, they must squeeze into the same hiding place.
• Finally, everyone is there – squeezed in like a bunch of sardines.
• The person who found the sardine first, becomes the next “Sardine.”

Hints and Tips:

• Don’t forget to remind the children before they start to keep as quiet as possible while they are hiding.
• If playing in the night time, give each child a torch which they can use to search for the “Sardine”.
• When playing with a large group of children, split them up into pairs or teams.
