2. One person controls the speed of the cars by calling out numbers 1- slow 2 - medium and 3 - fast.

3. Look out for traffic lights, go around a roundabout, drive through a tunnel, up a hill or over some bumps. Be creative with your movements.

Find the Fruit

1. An ideal place to play this game is in a large open space however, you can also play it at home on a rainy day. One person starts the game as a 'fruit master' and calls out the name of a fruit.

2. All the other players have to try and find an object that is the same colour as the fruit and bring it back to the fruit master.

3. You can swap roles or try timing yourself to see how quick you can collect the coloured items. The fruit master may also call out the names of two fruits so that you need to bring back two objects.

Equipment

Safe place to play

Different coloured objects that you can collect and carry

Fish Tails

1. Find a large space that you can run around (the Ocean), this could be a park, garden or even inside if it is safe to run fast. You will need a tea-towel (or a similar item). One player starts as the shark and the others playing are the smaller fish.

2. The smaller fish start by attaching a tail to themselves (hang a tea-towel from your waist, or a pocket) the tail should hang freely. The fish start moving/swimming around the ocean.

3. When the fish are ready the shark tries to chase the fish and catch their tails. If a shark catches your tail keep playing until all tails are caught and then swap roles.

Equipment

Tea-towels / long socks / small blanket / fabric (the fish tail)

A large space to run (Ocean)
