Bumble Bee Circle Game.

    Hello, I am so sorry, I accidently erased this game.  I will try and make this shorter for time purposes.  Children form a circle. Choose one child to go in the center of the circle.  That child holds the Bee wand.  Everyone chants this saying.  Bee, bee, bumble bee.  Stung a man upon his knee.  Stung a pig upon his snout. The bee is wondering all about.   The child in the middle walks around the circle holding the bee wand until he or she hear the last word which is ABOUT.  The child in the middle stops at the closest person they are near. Then they change places. That person hands the bee wand over to the new person trades places and starts the chant again.  The winner is the child who did not get stung. If children are a good sport and is happy for the winner, I hand out a sticker for them. I usually would have trinkets for the winning child to choose from.  Can make booklets for each child if it is done for a classroom and put stickers in their own book. I would put My Sticker Book on the front of each child's book and the name of the game they played that day, next to their sticker. With the words good sport. They can save the books in their cubby for another game or activity.  If it is for a birthday celebration game then I would hand them the sticker for them to decide whether they want it or just bring it home with them.  This game is fun for the whole family, classroom, celebrations, scouts. You can also mix age groups such as 8 or 10 yr old mixing with 5 and six years of age. At school we had 5th graders doing special things with the first graders. Like a buddy system.  Both ages enjoyed this system. This was always supervised of course. It made for a special interaction in a positive setting.   Hope you get to try this game. Have a nice weekend.
