Ring, a ring a rosies



(The cover of L. Leslie Brooke's Ring O' Roses (1922) shows nursery rhyme characters performing the game - Wikipedia)

Two, three and four-year-olds all enjoy this game. It's very simple. One child stands in the middle while everyone else holds hands and dances around her. These days I suppose everyone will have to hold a sanitised teddy in between himself and the next child!
Anyway, the playgroup all stand in a circle, and you all sing:
"Ring a ring a rosies
A pocket full of posies
A-TISH-oo
A-TISH-oo
We all fall down!"
... and the last person to land on the grass is the one who has to stand in the middle while everyone dances around him or her.

I wrote a letter to my love

Image
You'll need at least four children to be able to play this successfully. Have an envelope with a heart drawn on it, and the children must all sit in a wide-ish circle. (If they're too close together, the game becomes too wild!) My six playgroup children all sit sweetly together and then we begin. I hold the letter in my hand and start to chant: I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I dropped it, I dropped it once, I dropped it twice, I dropped it three times over. One of you has picked it up and put it in your pocket, It wasn't you, It wasn't you, It wasn't you, (and then, I drop the envelope behind Lyra's back quietly and then shriek) It was YOU! And I run around the circle of children and have to sit in Lyra's spot before she manages to catch me. Then it is her turn to say the rhyme. We all say it with the children until everyone learns it off by heart.

K-I-N-G spells King!

Image
One person is on, and stands, preferably against a wall, with his or her back to the rest of the children, who stand in a row as far back as they can within earshot. The one who is on, shouts K-I-N-G spells King! and on the word King, spins round to look at the children. While she/he is spelling, the children run towards her. They can move forward while her eyes are hidden, but as soon as she shouts the word King! and turns around they must freeze. Anyone who moves, or wobbles, is out.  The aim of the game is to reach the one who is on and touch him or her, and then he's out. If you are the one who touched, you become the speller. You carry on playing until the last one standing is the winner.

Wolfie, Wolfie, what's the time?

Image
My playgroup children are all excited and jumpy, so I thought we should play a walking-around game to focus their minds a bit. The boys are Sipho, Jason and Kosie and the girls are Ada, Jane and Lyra. They're all nearly four years old. So I line them up behind me and explain that I am Wolfie. They have to follow me and shout: "Wolfie, Wolfie, What's the time?" I turn and say: "Nine o' clock."  Try and do this calmly else they will start shrieking and running too soon. You can add menace with each additional time. Because they're still so little, I say the times in order: you'll say that it's ten, then it's eleven, then twelve, and then finally it's "Wolfie, Wolfie, what's the time?" and I shout "One o' clock, DINNERTIME!" and then catch one of them, who will then become Wolfie. In these days of masks and social distance, you may have to jump on their shadows, or give them each a pool noodle to drag and you ...
