How to play

  1. The caller names a theme, such as “Animals!” or “Trees!”, and counts.
  2. Everyone freezes in a pose that fits the theme.
  3. The caller picks whoever stays still the longest; they are the next caller.

Safety

Always play these games with an adult watching, in a way that suits your child’s age and the surface underfoot. Keep games with small pieces (marbles, five stones, mangala) away from children under 3.
