Description
Fun dinosaur themed quiet game.
Resources
"Dinosaur Egg" (Small ball or bean bag)
Blindfold
Chair
Instructions
- Have everyone sit in quite spread out circle and place a chair in the middle with your "dinosaur egg" underneath.
- Choose someone to be mama dinosaur and have them sit on the chair and blindfold them.
- Next choose a hunter to sneak into the center and try to steal the "dinosaur egg" from under the chair. Make sure you announce when the hunter has set off so mama dinosaur know when the round has started. It's really important that everyone else in the circle is silent whilst the hunter is trying to capture the "dinosaur egg".
- If mama dinosaur hears someone moving they need to point in the direction of the sound if they point in the direction of the hunter then they have been caught and the round is over.
- If they don't get caught then they carry on. Mama dinosaur has 3 guesses to try and find the hunter if they use all of them and don't find the hunter then the round is over.
- Once the hunter steals the egg they swap and become mama dinosaur and you start again with a new hunter.
For older sections we play this game in the dark and give mama dinosaur a torch to shine in the direction they heard a noise instead of point. We also let them use decoys like taking their shoes off and throwing it in a direction.
