Each Thursday we'll bring you a fun game to play with your kids!

This week's game is...

Flip the Fish

Newspapers
scissors
pen
finishing line (tape measure
masking tape or jumprope)

Cut large newspaper fish in preparation - you could also use construction paper. If you have lots of kids let them decorate anad put their names on them. Lay out your start and finish lines. Give each child a newspaper folded in half, and have them line up with their fish. Now they have to flap the newspaper vigourously to make the fish "swim" along the floor. the winner is the first across the line. Larger groups could do a relay race with the children taking over from one another on the start and finish lines.
