Great Games for Children: Part 3 “Swinging Statue”

Swinging Statue is a funny game that can be played at home however, you will need a bigger room for that or the best option here is to just go outside and play in your garden. The number of players can be as little as two but the more the better as it will make this game more entertaining.Here are the few steps to follow:

Step 1: Deciding who will be “It” can be done in a few ways for example the oldest child or the youngest can be “It”.

Step 2: Swinging. The person that was “It” will have to swing the rest of the players around. The number of swings can be three or four and then “it” should let go.

Step 3: Keeping the balance. The swung player must then balance himself or herself in a statue stance as he or she was swung. Balance is very important here if a player move, laugh or fall then that person will become “it”.

Step 4:  Staying still. If everyone is keeping the balance then “it” will try to scare or trick the rest of the players into moving without touching them. The first player that will move will become “it”.

 This game is perfect for testing child’s concentration, determination to win.
