Cat and Mouse Game
Cat and Mouse Game is one of the fun outdoor games for kids. It's also great for playground games for elementary kids.
Do cats and mice get along? The answer would probably be "no"!
But this fun game lets kids pretend to be both cats and mice. The mouse has to avoid getting caught by kitty!
6 or more players
Ages 5 and up
Begin by having all players, except 2, get in a circle and hold hands.
The 2 players not in the circle will be the "cat" and the "mouse".
The mouse will stand inside the circle while the cat will be outside the circle.
The mouse has to get outside the circle and avoid being caught by the cat.
The mouse can get back inside the circle where he will be safe. The cat cannot come into the circle.
The mouse cannot stand still, even if that means running or jumping in place while inside the circle.
And the mouse cannot remain in the circle more than 10 seconds.
The players holding hands attempt to keep the cat away from the mouse.
They can lift their hands up so the mouse has a quick escape into the circle.
They can also stand in the cat's way so he can't reach in the circle and grab the mouse.
The cat can reach in, but that's all that's allowed.
Once the mouse is caught, the mouse is the new cat. The old cat takes her place and another player becomes the mouse.
