How to play
Game variations
Play as above with each child needing to move in a different way to collect a toy e.g. bringing it back to the sleigh without using their hands outside the workshop. Children can pair up if they wish to go in groups but only one toy per visit to the workshop. Teachers may wish to assign a set movement to a colour piece of equipment (red means travel on one leg, blue means keep both feet together, green means work in a pair etc.).
Choose one team or some children to play the role of Scrooge. Scrooge’s role is to stop the toys from leaving the workshop by tagging children running to collect a toy or taking a toy back to their sleigh. If caught they return the toy to the workshop and go back to the sleigh for the next team member to try.
Apply the Naughty or Nice rule. Once all the toys are gone from the workshop teams can choose to be naughty or nice. Naughty means going and stealing a toy from another sleigh, nice means ensuring all teams have the same number of toys so they are shared equally. Play for a set time and see at the end which teams have been naughty and which have been nice.
