Cotton wool and balloon blowing
Two teams compete against each other: They need to
move a cotton ball or a balloon with a straw over a certain
distance. At the end of the distance the straw is
handed over to the next player of the team. The fastest
team is the winner.
Name pantomime
Each child has to play his name as a pantomime, i.e.
representing each letter of the name with the pantomime.
Alex: A = apple, L = lion; E = elephant and X = xylophone
The other players need to guess the name. If the children
already know each other’s names, the entertainer
will whisper a person’s name in his ear and he plays this
name as a pantomime.
Master, master
“Meister, Meister, wir kommen aus dem Morgenland, die
Sonne hat uns braungebrannt. Meister, Meister, gib uns
Arbeit!” “Was habt ihr denn gelernt?”
Players present professions in mime.
Dracula
All children are “blind” (blindfolded). The entertainer
secretly appoints one child to be a vampire, who is also
blind. Now all children start to move around in the
room. Once the vampire bangs into another child he
lets out a bloodthirsty yell, and the victim also becomes
a vampire and goes “hunting”. However if two vampires
bounce together, they become normal children again.
Play the game as long as the children enjoy it.
Water relay
Divide the children into two groups of the same size.
Then they line up behind each other. The first child of
each row gets a bucket filled up to the rim with water.
The buckets need to be passed from the front to the
end, without spilling too much water. The last child then
runs with bucket to the front and the game starts
anew. The entertainer will stop the game after some
rounds. The group with the most water in the bucket
wins this challenge. Some music in the background
completes the funny atmosphere.
Natural picture
The children look for little branches, leaves, stones etc.
in the close vicinity. Then they try to create a picture
with these materials. Use branches and stones to frame
the picture. Who can see what has been created. Also
suitable as competition!
Natural collection – a competition
Material: a list with items to be collected and found
Each child gets a list with ten different items to be collected
(found) in as short time as possible. The entertainer
gives the starting signal and all children try to
find their items. These items might be: A cone, a small
branch, seashells, sand, pebble stones, etc. Once the
first child has found all the items on its list, all other
children are called back to the starting point. Maybe a
whistle is required to do so. Now we count how many
items each child has found.
Animal race – a competition
Material: Pictures of animals, 2 jars
Make pictures of animals moving in a special way, i.e.
frog, snake, kangaroo, rabbit, caterpillar, etc. There
need to be two pictures of each animal. A picture of
each animal is put in each of the jars. Now divide the
children in two groups of the same size and line them
up at a starting point. Mark up a turning point in
approx. 20 m distance. Place the two jars at this turning
point. Once the starting signal is given the first player
of each group runs to the turning point, draws a picture
of his jar and moves back to his group like the animal
on his picture would move. Now it is the next player’s
turn. Which group will win?
The fooled conductor
Material: A blindfold, a thin stick
One child will be the conductor and needs to be blindfolded.
The other children stand around him in a circle.
Then the conductor starts conducting the other children
in one direction or the other with his baton, then
the children stop moving and the conductor points with
his baton to one child who starts singing a song with a
disguised voice. If the conductor guesses the child’s
name, this child will be the new conductor. If not, start
the next song!
Roll the ball
Material: A big ball, several smaller balls
Divide the children in two groups of the same size. The
groups line up at two lines which are approx. 10 meters
apart. A big ball is placed in the middle of the two lines.
Now the players need to move the big ball behind the
line of the other team. The ball shall be moved by throwing
the smaller balls against it.
This ball is for …
Material: Ball
One player throws the ball as high as he can in the air
and calls out the name of another player for whom this
