Warm up – Cat and Mouse
Description:
Choose two of the children to be cats, everyone else is a mouse and wears a tail (coloured band) in the back of their shorts / trousers.
The mice run around and the cats try to catch them by pulling the tails out. Make sure tails are showing before starting and ask the cats to collect as many tails as they can within the time. Yell the cats to keep hold of them, so that no one slips on them.
Give the cats 1-2mins to complete the task
Congratulate the surviving mice and count the tails. The cat with the most tails is the winner!
