Hobbies And Interests
Cross the Dragon's Moat
Mark two lines about 20 feet apart and have the players stand on one of the two lines. Select one child to be the dragon and have him stand in between the two lines (this is the moat). All the other children are princes and princesses who are trying to cross the moat. When the dragon says, "Try and Cross the Moat," all children must run to the other line. If the dragon tags a player, he has to join hands with the dragon and help him catch other players. The last player tagged by the dragon wins the game and is the dragon for the next game.
Dragon Memory
Print two pictures each of several different dragons. Laminate the pictures to make them more durable and last longer. Place the pictures face down on a table for the children to play a game of memory. If a child finds a match, she gets to go again. If she does not find a match, the play moves to the next player. The player who has the most dragon matches at the end of the game wins.
Dragon Tag
Have all the children stand in a single file line and hold on to the player's hips in front of them. The first player in line is the dragon's head and the last player is the dragon's tail. When you say, "Go," the dragon's head has to try to catch the dragon's tail without breaking the line. If he breaks the line, it does not count. When he catches the dragon's tail, that player is the new dragon's head for the next game.
Dragon Egg Hunt
Hide several plastic eggs all over the play area. Place dragon-themed party favors, such as erasers, stickers, small toys and temporary tattoos, in the eggs. Give the children each a small bag to collect the dragon eggs. After the children find all the eggs, have them count their eggs. The child who finds the most dragon eggs wins a large plush dragon toy.
