Circle Games

Duck, Duck, Goose The kids will know the rules to this, but in case they're fuzzy... Make yourself "It" and walk around the outside of the circle, tapping each sitting child on the head and announcing "Duck" until you get to the chosen "Goose." The moment you say "Goose," take off running around the circle with the Goose in hot pursuit. If the Goose tags you (and let's hope he does) before you circle back to the empty spot, switch places with him and start a new round. On it goes; just make sure everyone gets a turn as Goose.

Crawl-Through-the-Hoops Game Put a couple of Hula Hoops on someone's arm, and have everyone join hands in a circle. The trick? Get one hoop around the circle going one direction and the other hoop going the opposite direction. But no fair letting go of hands! Squeeze, crawl, and shake your way through them.

Balloon Bouncing Everybody lies down in a circle. Try to keep a balloon up as long as possible. Start with five balloons and let the kids pop each one after it hits the ground.
