CURIOUS GEORGE VISITS AN AMUSEMENT PARK
ACTIVITY:  TICKET TAG

VARIATION ON THE GAME TAG

PREMISE:  When George gets caught handing out tickets to all the children, the ticket seller and guard chase him throughout the amusement park.

• Choose a guard and a ticket seller to be it (I'm just going to call them guards from here on)

  • You could have just a guard and no ticket seller if you only want one person to be "it", or

  • if it's a large group, you can have multiple guards.  

  • If you want a little extra fun, have a special hat for each of the guards to wear.

• Give the other children a piece of paper that has TICKET written on it

  • The children can make their own tickets as practice writing. 

  • The children who aren't guards are Curious George and are clutching their ticket as they run from the guard(s). 

• Play tag!

  • If a guard tags one of the monkeys, they have to hand over their ticket. 

  • They then trade places (the guard gives the special hat to the monkey, the monkey gives the ticket to the guard and they swap roles). 

  • The new guard should count to five (nice and loud) after putting on the hat before starting to run after anyone.

  • "Aunt Ruby" can referree!
