The Cat and Her
Kittens
The players draw a line on the
ground. It's " the street". Then they draw a circle 10-15 metres away from
" the street". This circle is called "the house". One player is chosen
to be "the cat" and the rest become "kittens". "The cat " enters "the house"
while " the kittens" are standing 2-3 steps away from " the house"." The
cat" starts asking questions and "the kittens " are to answer them quickly.
The conversation may be the
following:
- My dear kittens, where
have you been?
- In the garden.
- And what were you going
there?
- We were picking flowers.
- And where are the flowers?
- A cow ate them.
- And where is the cow?
- It went to the forest.
- And where's the forest?
- It' over there behind
the mountain. Etc.
The number of questions and
answers depends on the fantasy and quick-wittedness of the players. As
soon as "the kittens" stumble and don't answer till "the cat" counts to
10 "the cat" cries," You are liars!" and starts catching them. "The kittens"
run away to "the street", in other words stand on the line and link their
hands. The person caught by "the cat" or the one who stood the last on
the line leaves the game. "The cat" takes him/her to the "house". The game
starts anew. It is considered finished when "the cat" brings home all "the
kittens".
