Description

Ask each child to find a space in the room. Where required, ensure social distancing by asking each child to hold their arms out wide to make sure they can’t touch anyone else.

The bean game is an action game. A leader should call out the following beans. When called out children should act out the appropriate actions. To begin with, play so everyone gets used to the actions. After a while the last person to do the action should be asked to sit down. This should eventually produce a winner.

Play the game multiple times, making the game more difficult by calling out the actions quicker and with multiple actions one after another.
