a. Nose and Toes Tag 

Players must stay within the boundaries. One person is “it.” Players are only safe from being tagged when the nose is held with the left hand and at the same time the toes of the left foot are held with the right hand.

b. Musical Jump and Look

Turn on music. Players stand in a circle, arm’s length apart, with one person in the center who is “it.” One person outside the circle has a cardboard disc under her feet. Players sway to the music without lifting their feet; they can swing their arms. When the “it” person shouts “jump,” all players must jump as high as they can. If the “it” person correctly guesses who has the disc under his feet, that person then becomes “it.” If the guess is incorrect, play continues with the same player remaining as “it.” The disc must be moved each time (the “it” person covers her eyes). Alternate—have everyone jump when the music stops.
