You will need:
- a large
play space
- a start and finish
line (ie. with masking tape or chalk)
- a large spoon
for each child racing
- a small potato
for each child racing
What to do:
- get children
ready at start line with potato balanced on spoon
- say, "On
your mark, get set, GO!"
- encourage all
children to walk with the potato on the spoon to the finish line
- if they drop their
potato, encourage them to pick it up, balance it and keep on going
- do not focus on
who wins
- rather, focus
on who manages to get all the way from the start line to the finish line
with their potato on their spoon!
- game ends when
all have had a turn or children are tired
