THE ANIMAL RACE

And lo and behold, everyone has arrived! Your living room looks like a real barnyard! Luckily you had a birthday games idea to bring everyone together! We ask all the little chicks to gather and go for the animal race! 

- Everyone at chicken coop !!! (Children walk up to a designated wall or piece of furniture.) I'm going to race you!

- Oooooooh!

- As it is a bit easy, I will give you constraints. For the first lap, I'd like you to race jumping like kangaroos. The first to touch me wins! Are you ready ?

- Yeaaaah.

- Cheer ! For round 2, I would like you to gallop like horses.

At each new turn, you can offer them to vary the steps. It's up to the children to jump forward, squatting like frogs, backwards, joining hands two by two, mouse-stepping, bunny-hopping... Make sure, by asking them to show you, that everyone understand.

At 3 years old, children are toddlers. It's normal if very quickly the normal steps take over or if they don't succeed!
