Play Statues! Everyone runs, runs, runs around the yard until the leader yells, "FREEZE." Everyone must freeze in the position they were in when the leader called out. The first person to move (or giggle!) is out. Continue playing until one player remains. For some variety, the leader can say "Freeze like an animal!" or "Freeze like a car!" Everyone should have a turn being the leader.

Play Follow the Leader - everyone lines up behind the leader and imitates what the leader does. He might skip twice, hop once, and then crawl a few paces. He might go up some steps and down the steps. Wherever he goes, everyone must follow. For younger children, you may want to keep everyone in a circle. The leader can walk like an elephant, or walk like a giraffe (with one arm up like the giraffe's big, tall neck), or flapping wings like a small bird, or clucking like a chicken. You may also want to put out toys to climb over, or go around.
