Reindeer run

Set up the playing area with large different coloured cones spread out to represent house rooftops and mark a small area as the Grinch’s Cave.

Split the class in half with one group as Reindeers and the other playing the roles of the Grinch.

All the Reindeers start the game with a ‘full sleigh’ of three small cones, beanbags or balls of different colours to represent the presents.

Reindeers move to visit as many large cones as possible to ‘deliver the presents to houses’. 

The Grinch’s role is to take the“presents”, once placed at a house, back to their cave.

Once the Reindeers run out of presents to drop, they can visit the Grinch’s cave to collect more presents.

Play for 3 minutes and see who has won by having the most presents at the houses or in the Grinch’s cave. Swap over roles to play again.
