Bring in the Harvest Game
Materials:
- Dried Indian corn cob
Directions:
- Divide the children into two teams (or as many as you need) and have them form two lines.
- You will need a cob of dried Indian corn for each team.
- At the signal "go", the corncob is to be passed from child to child.
- The catch is that they can use any part of their bodies, except their hands.
- If the corn touches the ground at any time, it must go back to the beginning of the line again.
- Whichever team manages to get the corn to the end of the line first wins the game.
- The corn can also be used in a relay, with the kids putting the corn between their knees and racing "crab" style.
