Practising jumping in and out of a pond in this fun listening circle game.

Resources

Nothing

Instructions

Everyone should sit in a circle. An adult volunteer or young leader should be the caller.
Everyone else will need to sit in the circle with their hands on the tops of their thighs.
The caller will say one of three things, in no particular order:
‘In the pond’ — everyone puts their hands forwards into the circle (the pond)
‘Out the pond’ — everyone puts their hands in the air above their heads
‘On the bank’ — everyone puts their hands on their thighs (the bank)
Have a practice round and call out the actions, so everyone knows what they’re doing.
Now, play the game. If anyone moves their hands to the wrong place or at the wrong time, then they’re out of the game and must sit on their hands.
Keep going until there’s only one person left, who can be declared the winner!
