Austrian running game

One child is the hunter, the other children are the rabbits.

The hunter has a soft ball and has to catch all the rabbits.

If the rabbits get caught, they will have to sit down on the bench (or a special place).

Austrian Running game

Description:

The children form a circle and sit down on the floor.

One child walks around the circle and touches the head of every child with his hand and says: duck, duck, duck, duck, duck ...... but when the child says fox, the chosen child has to stand up and try to catch the other child.

If the first child reaches the free place without being caught from the other child, it has to sit down. So the new child has to walk around the circle and the game starts again.

If the first child is not able to reach the free place it needs to do it again and the chosen child can sit down on his place.

Variation: Instead duck, you can say your favorite pet, for example: My favorite pet is a cat, so you have to say cat, cat, cat ... fox.
