Game Idea: Ants & Anthills

April 2, 2012 By meredithteasley

PREPARE: Mark off your playing area, and scatter 3-5 hoola hoops around the play area.

PLAY: Appoint 2-3 King (male) and/or Queen (female) Ants to chase players. Once tagged, “ants” lie on the ground flailing arms and legs. 4 friends carry tagged ant to an anthill, and that person is back in the game. Anyone who’s working to “untag” a player by carrying them to an anthill cannot be tagged. In other words, that’s the only way to be “safe.”

Option: Give king and queen ants a ball or ½ size pool noodle to use to tag players. This helps other players identify who is chasing.

Meredith Teasley helps plan recreation for camp each summer. She loves helping #kidmin leaders learn new games they can use! Find more games from Meredith here… follow her personal blog to keep up with what she’s doing when she’s not planning games.
