Cockatoos Century
Two people go “It”. Then the children that are left get into groups. Then the two children choose names for the groups like dolphins, cockatoos, whales and horses. Then everyone says: “Cockatoos century, cockatoos century what can you see what can you see."
Then one person that is It says: “I see green pastures and tall gum trees and...”, and they call out a group. Then that group runs down to the post, wall or tree, but if they got caught they have to stand like a tree. They can only stretch their arms and if they touched someone they have to stand beside that person. If you are not tagged you can go back to where you were and the people who are “It” cannot get you. Rules: When you get touched you must go “It”. Do what you told by the oldest person. When you are touched you are It but you cannot move your feet. (Rebecca Briody)
Bat and Ball
You need a bat and a ball and you hit it at a wall. You keep on hitting at the wall. You can hit it at any wall, you can hit a brick wall or a wood wall or a plaster wall. You can hit it hard or soft but you cannot hit it too soft or else it won’t hit the wall. (Aaron

This game is under water. You need six people. One person is ‘It’. That "It" person chases the others under water. When that person tags some body then he or she is out. The person that is left wins. (Samantha and Jessica)
Junior Monopoly
Notes: Junior monopoly is an easier version of Monopoly. There are 4 different colors counters: red, blue, green and yellow. Up to four players can play. In the game there is money, there is $5, 4$, 3$, $2 and1$. You roll the dice and move the number you got. If you land on a chance you pick up a card. If you run out of money you loose. Rules: Everyone takes turns. You must do what the chance card says. If you fight you will spoil the game. (Meera)
Continuous Cricket
You have to pick two captains. It has to be a girl and a boy. And your teacher has to pick the teams, but if your teacher is not there you pick it yourself. Then you play the game. A bowler bowls the ball to the first batter and the batter throws the bat down for the next batter and runs to the other stump. When he/she gats back to the wickets he has scored two runs. The bowler can bowl any time as soon as they have the ball and are standing on the bowling place. The rules: Each batter runs after they hit the ball. If the batter doesn’t get to the first stump he/she is out. If the ball hits the wickets the batter is out. When all the batters are out they become the fielders. The teacher is not allowed to throw the ball. Unless the fielders are standing in the circle. (Peter Thompson)
