This is a good game to go outside and play, or if it is to cold go play in a gym or a room with lots of space. It is recommended that children get 60 minuets of exercise a day. This is a great way for them to get some exercise and it ties in well with your letter A lessons.
Pick one child, or teacher/care giver to be the alligator.You can designated this by letting the kid wear the alligator hat talked about in the last post if you would like to. The other children will be fishes, or monkeys, or things that start with A like apes, apples, or ants. Designate a spot to be the swamp, or jungle, or whatever you want to call it.
The children will stay in this spot. Be sure that it gives them enough room to walk quickly without going all over the playground. The Alligator moves with his hands in front, moving his arms up and down like an alligator closing and opening his mouth. The other kids can move like whatever you designated them to be they try to get away from the alligator.
The Alligator gently touches the other kids, turning them to alligators when they get touched. In the end you should have all alligators in your swamp.
