Description:
Make a small enough playing area. Have everyone blindfolded and give everyone an animal name. Tell them to make their animals noises and to find others who are making the same noises and stick together. There should be a lot of different groups of animals in the end.
Students stand on the edge of the pool.
The instructors makes statements about water activities; eg. going swimming by yourself, going swimming when a lifeguard is watching.
When the statement is something safe to do, the students jump into the water. When the statement is something unsafe to do, the students shake their heads no.
All the students are on the edge of the pool pretending to be little seeds (curled up in a ball, sitting on the edge) after watering and giving the students sunshine, the students grow up to be tall trees (standing up tall with their arms in the air).
The instructor then goes and “cuts” all of trees down (students jump into the water one at a time)
All of the students but one line up on one side of the pool with the instructor. The one student is the wolf at the other end of the pool. The students say “What time is it Mr. Wolf” who answers with a number. All of the students take that many steps. If the wolf says “lunchtime”, the students have to run back and touch the edge of the pool or else they can be caught and turned into wolves.
Note: To make sure the instructor keeps sight of all students, a student should be a wolf. The instructor can play along but must always be able to see all of the students.
