Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate

One child is far away facing away from the other children who are standing in a line facing the single child’s back.  On the teacher’s instruction children must cautiously walk towards the child.  If that child turns around the other children must freeze.  When a child reaches the front, they must touch the child’s shoulder and call ‘hot chocolate’.  That child then moves to the front and the game starts again.

Adapt for younger children:

Adult seated faces away from the children and other adults model trying to reach them by crawling/shuffling.  When adult turns around infants and adults freeze.  Repeat, progress to standing.

Extension:

Children take it in turns to be hot chocolate. Try the activity crawling, skipping, jumping, galloping, jogging etc
