Heart Beat

Supplies:

• Heart for each child with instruction written on one side and a heart-shaped chocolate taped on the other.
• Instructions might include: Hop like a bunny, walk like a crab, bear walk, skip, walk backwards, etc.

How To Play: Children divide into two teams. Put the hearts at the end of the room in two piles. On your mark the first child on each team runs to the pile, takes a heart and does what the heart says, while returning to their team, then sits down. The next team member then runs to the pile...etc. The first team to be sitting down wins. Everyone enjoys a chocolate in the end.

Heart Hop

Supplies:

• Pillow heart for each team.

How To Play: Children divide into two teams. Give each team a heart pillow. Pillow size should be larger for younger children and smaller for older children. Have one child from each team place the heart between their legs and hop to the end of the room and back. They sit down and the next team member goes. This repeats until one team is all sitting.

Heart Stomp
