What You'll Need:- 1 Large Cardboard Box (i.e. big enough for kids to crawl through)
- An X-Acto Knife or Scissors
- White Spray Paint
- A Dark Blue Marker
- A Stereo
- The Soundtrack from Happy Feet (or other children's music)
- A CD or Tape Player
Preparation:
Cut openings on either side of the cardboard box so that the children can walk or crawl through it. Spray paint the box white. After the paint dries, draw giant ice blocks on both uncut sides of the box to finish turning it into an igloo.
At The Party:
Line the children up, one behind the other, in front of the igloo. Station an adult by the stereo to start and stop the music randomly. When the music starts playing, the first player crawls through the igloo and out the back. The next child in line follows the first, and so on until the music is stopped. The child who is in the igloo when the music stops is caught.
Determining the Winner:
For Younger Children… Since younger children may not be able to handle competitive games, ensure that every child gets caught in the igloo at some point so that everyone wins. This will require the adult playing the music to pay attention to who's gotten caught already so he or she can stop the music at appropriate intervals. You may wish to give each child who is caught a sticker.
For Older Children… The child who is caught is out for the remainder of the game. Continue playing until only one child remains in the game and is named the winner.
