9 Circle to Circle
Players: 6 or more The group forms two circles. When the leader calls “Change,” everyone changes sides to stand in a new place in the other circle. No one must touch anyone else while crossing over. For very young children, have only one circle, and have the players change places within that circle.
Lead On Relay
Set up obstacles in the play area chairs, boxes etc. Play 2 by 2 Now they pretend that they are on a long journey. One of the pair is blindfolded and must be led to safety, over or under the obstacles. When the pair finally make it to safety at the end of the play area, the blinded player can see again, but the sighted player is now blinded. They now switch places and go back again, until everyone is home and both players can see.
“Be Wise---Exercise!” -Exercise Game Cards
Three Deep
Number of Players: 15 & up Make two circles, one inside the other. One player holds a ball in the center of the two circles. The center player throws the ball to someone in the inner circle then runs and stands behind someone in the outside circle, making it “three deep.” The front player in the inner circle of the three circles goes into the center. While this is happening, the player with the ball passes it to the person behind him or her, who throws it to the new center player. Keep this going as long as you like.
Sardines
Number of Players: 4 & up Hide-and-seek game in reverse. All the players but one count to 100 with their eyes closed. While they do this, the single player finds a place to hide that is big enough to hold everyone in the game. At 100, everyone searches for the hidden child. When someone finds the hiding place they try to hide there too, without being seen by the others. Finally everyone will be squashed into the hiding place, just like sardines in a can.
Melt & Freeze
Players: 4 & up Start playing music to dance/ run to. After a few seconds the leader calls “Freeze!” and a number, such as 3, then all players must stop and touch the floor with three body parts. For example two feet and one hand. Then the leader says “Melt!” and the players dance around again. “Freeze, eight” could mean 5 fingers, 1 hand, and 2 feet, or any other combination of eight that each player chooses.

“Sunbeam Words” -Love Mobile
Let’s make a Love Mobile: 1) Gather some red construction paper or cardstock, plus any other colors you may like to use. Draw a big heart shape on the red paper and a few little hearts with the rest of the colors. 2) Cut out all the hearts. 3) Write a sweet note on each one. 4) Make a mobile like the one in the picture. Be sure that you attach the big heart to the center so that it will hang evenly. 5) Tape or glue yarn to each of the small hearts to attach to the big one. 7) Now your mobile is ready to hang up. You can keep it in your room by your bed to remind you to think those sweet thoughts of others. You can put it in your parent’s room if you like, or put it in your little brother’s or sister’s room to show them how much you love and appreciate them. You could also give it to a friend for their room.
