Cat tail tag – Played like tag with a piece of yarn or string hanging from the back of the players pants to be pulled out.
This Way and That – Sing the song with your child to the tune of “The More We Get Together.” Move around the yard in different ways: Did you ever jump on two feet, did you ever skip in circles, did you ever walk on tiptoe, etc.
