Black Bug

Black Bug is one of the fun elementary games and outside games for kids.

1 or more players
Ages 4 and up
Need: soft kick ball

This is also one of the cool inside games for kids that can be played in a gym.

This is a classic kid game that's been around a long time!

One player begins by singing:
"Big bug, sitting on a rug
I one it
I two it
I three it
I four it
I five it
I six it
I seven it
You ate it!"

After each line after "sitting on a rug" the player must perform a different bounce for each number.

She can dribble, bounce and clap, bounce and turn around, bounce the ball off of a wall, bounce it under her leg and any other way the player knows how to bounce a ball.

If more than one player is playing, the winner will be the player who makes it all the way through the rhyme without making a mistake on her bounces.
