The older children like to play Dodge Ball. Miss Bevan, Miss Goldsmith and I joined in - it was great fun!! Do you like to play Dodge Ball? Who do you play with? Where do you play?
They also showed us some other games from Brazil. One is called "Cobra Sega" which means "Blind Snake". One child is blindfolded and will try to catch the others. They have to creep around quietly to make sure they don't get caught!! 1. We have the same game in the UK do you know what its called? (answer at the bottom of this post)
Morto o Vivo. The name of this game means "dead or alive". One person is the person who calls out "morto" or "vivo". When the person calls out "morto" (dead) everyone crouches down. When they call out "vivo" (alive) everyone must stand up. If you get it wrong, you are out of the game. The winner is the last person left at the end of the game.
Would you like to try playing this game with some friends in English?
Gato e Rato
The name "Gato e Rato" means Cat and Mouse. Players sit in a circle. One person is the mouse. They walk around the outside of the circle, and suddenly they tap someone on the head. That person is the cat and they must chase the mouse all the way round the circle. If the cat catches the mouse or sits in their place, then the mouse must have another turn. If the mouse escapes, and can sit down, then person who was the cat has a turn at choosing someone in the circle. They become the mouse this time.
2. We have a very similar game in the UK. Do you know what it is called? (answer at the bottom of this post)
Corda (Rope)
This was my favourite game!! Everyone forms a circle and one person stands in the middle. The person in the middle twirls a rope around low to the ground. Everyone must jump over the rope.
Be careful because if the rope touches you, you are out!!
Have you played a game like before?
1. Blind Man's Bluff
2. Duck, Duck, Goose
