Instructions

This is one of the all-time great movement games.

Have a wide playing area, and some spots on the floor. These are the rabbit ‘holes’. Have at least as many spots as you have players.

The children are now all rabbits. They are going to move about the ‘field’ (playing area) in different ways. They could jump, hop, skip, slither etc!

Have an instrument, for example a drum. Hit you hit the drum, that is a signal that the fox is here. They need to get onto a rabbit hole sharpish!

If you stand on a ‘hole’ then you are safe.

Then simply go again. The rabbits have about three seconds to get to a rabbit ‘hole’ or they are out.

Extreme Version:
The more competitive version of the Rabbit Game, is when the fox comes back with some imaginary soil in a wheelbarrow, and fills in some of the rabbit holes.

In reality, the adult goes around the space, and picks up a few rabbit holes while the children are moving. Then, when the drum sounds this time, there won’t be enough holes for everyone. Some children will be ‘out’.

Keep whittling them down until you have a champion.
