Cat and Mice: We all sit in a circle. One of us is the cat. The rest of us are mice. We are each given a color. "Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow." When our color is called we can stand and enter the circle. If we are tagged, we are out. If we run outside the circle, we are out too. The last mouse left in the game gets to be the new cat. We play many turns.
Cheese Come: We all line up on one end of the gym. Two of us are mice. We stand in the middle of the gym with "taggers". The rest of us are magic cheese. We are magic because we can run. When the mice yell, "Cheese Come", the cheese run across to the other side of the gym. If you get tagged, you become little pieces of the mice and you can tag too, but from a crossed legged sitting position. The last two left in the game get to be the mice for the next game.
Backboard Dodgeball: We have two teams and the teams cannot cross the center line. We play with fleece balls (very soft) and with "ragball" footballs. We try to throw the fleece balls at the other team. If we hit someone, they are out. But, if they catch it, they are not out and neither are we. If we get out, we stand against the wall under the side backboard. The next person out stands next to us. When five people are out, the first one in line can come back into the game. But, if someone from our team throws a football and it hits the other teams back backboard, we can all come back into the game at once. If we throw a football through the other teams back basketball hoop, we score a point. We have fun and get a real workout.
