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?

Aiden: This way. [He stood up and demonstrated it by walking sideway.]

Teacher: Yes, great!

Therefore, we had a racing game about how crab walked. The children were divided into 2 groups, where about 5 & 6 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 hand 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 hand

-         The winners will be rewarded

We had about 3 rounds altogether. I got every child to take turns to do it once for the first round. Once they understand the whole game, then 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!

We are ready! Let's start.

Start by walking like a crab to grab a toy fruit! See who's faster?

Ye Wern: Do I look like a crab?

Throw the toy fruit into the pail at the end of the finishing line.
