Game: Höken flyger högt - The hawk flies high (Sweden)

  • Print

Everyone stands in a ring. When the leader calls out "The hawk flies high" everyone jumps. The leader varies the calling with different kind of birds; "The seagull flies high, the eagle flies high" and so on. After every call the guides jump.

After a while the leader starts calling out other animals that cannot fly; for example "The mouse flies high". Now you shouldn't jump! The ones that jumps anyway take one step backwards, now they have to help checking who's jumping at the right moment and who isn't.
