TOWNSHIP GAME

For this activity you will need chalk.

• Children work individually.
• Draw a circle with chalk in front of the child.
• Place 5 bricks inside the circle. The 6th brick is
used as a marker brick with which to throw and
catch.
• The objective of the game is to throw the marker
brick up in the air and before it is caught again one
brick from inside the circle must be moved outside
of the circle.
• Then the child throws the marker brick up again
and moves the one brick from outside the circle to
inside the circle before catching the brick again.
• The child must throw the marker brick up and
move 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 bricks outside the circle before
catching the marker brick again.

CHING

CHONG

CHA

• Children work in groups of 4. Each child has
their 6 bricks on their laps hidden from each
other.
• Children chant a tune and on a certain word,
hold up any brick they choose.
• The aim is to be different to everyone else, so
they think about which brick no-one else will
hold up.
• All hold up their brick - the child who has a
different brick to everyone else earns a point.
• Play a few rounds and then tally up your points
to find a winner.

Variations:
• Change the rules - play the same game, but this
time score a point if you have the same colour
as everyone else.
• Encourage children to think up their own ideas
for how they could play this game.
