Capture the flag
There are two teams.Team 1 has the front yard and Team 2 has the back yard, or a field was split between the two teams.The teams are given a time period, like 5 minutes, to hide their flag in their part of the yard.During this period spies were sent out to see were the flag was hidden as well as look-outs to catch the spies.When the flag is hidden you call out that you are finished. Then you simply try to get the other teams flag. If you get caught and tagged by the opponent on their territory you had to go to jail and could only be freed by a teammate who grabs you when your opponent isn't lookingThe first team to capture the flag wins. In most versions you had to both get the flag, and bring it back to your side.
Simon Says
One person is chosen to be "Simon" the others stand in a straight line. The Simon then calls out an action for the children to follow. It can be anything like.... touch your toes jump 10 times on 1 foot...... The Simon when giving an action can simply state the action by it self..."touch your ears" and whoever does it is out and has to sit down. Or the Simon can say "Simon says, touch your ears" and them everyone must follow the instruction. You can vary the actions according to the age group of children you are playing with. The last person who is standing can then be "Simon"! This game is very common and easy to play.
Wolf's Dinner Time One player becomes the wolf and he/she will stand with his/her back turned to the others about 15 feet from the others. The others call out, "Whats the time Mr. Wolf" and the wolf turns to face the others and shouts out a time. Eg: 9 o'clock. The others would then take 9 steps toward the wolf. The group will take the same amount of steps toward the wolf as the amount of hours in the wolfs time. eg, 4 o'clock = 4 steps, 6 o'clock = 6 steps etc. etc. The wolf will then turn his back to the group again for them to yell "whats the time...." (He looks at the group only when he shouts the time at the group") When the group comes close to the wolf the next time the group yells "whats the time Mr. Wolf" the wolf will say 'Its DINNER TIME" and run after the group who are running back to the start line, and hopefully catch one of the group who will then be the wolf. It sounds noisy, but is an interesting game.
