Game: Walk like a Crab

We had learned quite some details about crab. Therefore, today we had a game of how crab walk.

Teacher: How does a crab walk?

Kwan Ming: Sideway.

Teacher: Anyone can demonstrate? [Some children stood up and started to walk sideway with their two hands acted like the crab’s pincer. How cute!]

Therefore, we had a racing game about how crab walked. The children were divided into 2 groups, where about 10 in each group. I brought in some toy fruits to be pretended as the food of the crab.

The rules are as followed:

-          Each child has to walk sideway like the crab from the starting line

-          Pick up a fruit with one of their hand and continue to walk sideway until they reached a pail at the finish line

-          Drop the fruit into the pail and run back to his/her group

-         By tapping gently on the next person’s head to indicate that he/she is allowed to start the race

-         Marks will be given according to the number of fruits collected.

-         Marks will be deducted for those who doesn’t follow instruction such as not walking sideway or tap too hard on their friend’s head

-         The winner will be rewarded

As a warm up round, I got every child to take turns to do it once. Then when the actual race started, the children will have to take turns until all the fruits are being collected.

Most of the children could follow the instruction and all of them had a fun time playing it!
