Repeat as many times as required.

 

 
Round the Mulberry Bush
Everyone stands in a circle with one person in the middle , all sing "here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush the mulberry bush, here we go round the mulberry bush, on a cold and frosty morning". The person standing in the middle makes up the next verse e.g. "this is the way we brush our teeth, on a cold and frosty morning". If children are too young to be able to make up their own verses, have a list ready so you can read them out.

 

 
Simon says
Mum or helper says "Simon says" hop on one foot, clap your hands, run round in circles, stand still, jump up and down,laugh out loudly, etc, the list can be endless. You can play this game so many different ways eliminate anyone who is slow to react, so you end up with just one winner. Stay on one theme e.g. making the sounds of animals, doing the actions of animals e.g. elephants, monkeys, birds etc.  Or keep everyone "in" and do not eliminate anyone. This will keep everyone happy :-)
