Mother May IMother May I is one of the cool outdoor games for kids. It's also one of the classic group games for kids. 4 or more players Make a starting line and a finish line 20 - 30 feet apart. One player is chosen to be Mother. Mother takes her place at the finish line and the other players line up in a row at the starting line. Players take turns asking Mother for permission to do things. Example, a player can say, "Mother can (may) I take 5 steps forward?" Mother then replies. Mother may say, "No, but you can take 3 baby steps forward." The player cannot move forward until he says, "Mother can (may) I?" Mother may answer, "No you may not", or "Yes, you may". If Mother answers, "yes" the player may move forward as Mother said. If a player doesn't proceed as Mother directed, or forgets to ask, "Mother can I" he must go back to the starting line. The first player to reach the finish line is the winner.
