Two activities that the students at the Crossing enjoy are the sheep beep shuffle and cow running. Here are the rules of the games:
Sheep beep shuffle
You will need: a car with a working horn and a field of sheep.
Number of players: Minimum 1, maximum equivalent to the number of seatbelts available in the car (plus or minus 2 depending on the moral standards of the driver).
Rules: As player 1 drives by a sheep field, he/she honks the horn. Now watch as all the sheep in the field go running in the opposite direction. Repeat for each pasture passed for extra added fun.
Provides plenty of entertainment and lots of laughs for all passengers in the car!
Cow Running
You will need: a field and plenty of cows
Number of players: 1 to everyone
Rules: As players approach the cows, they say “hey cow!” and clap their hands or make noise to attract the cows’ attention. Once the attention of the cows has been obtained, players run along the fence. Glory is earned according to the number of cows that run towards players and follow players along the fence. Extra glory can be earned if any player approaches the fence and touches a cow, provided that this does not take too much time so as to slow down the rest of the players who want to continue walking.
A wonderful game for children of all ages!

A game for entertainment here in Canada:
ReplyDeleteSnowflake Shovel
You will need:
A snow storm, a shovel, and the appropriate winter attire
Rules:
Players dress warmly and go outside either during or just after a snow storm. The objective is to quickly dig and push at the snow that has fallen in the driveway. Glory can be obtained if the entire driveway can be cleaned without too much snow building up where you started. This game can be followed up by a warm cup of hot chocolate as you warm yourself in a big comfy blanket.
Warning:
Old fogies and cheaters commonly bring a snow blower to this game. This is not the correct method of playing and only takes away from the fun for others.
Great fun for the average Canadian (not recommended for people with heart problems)

We are currently experiencing our first snow storm of the winter here at home (it is even a snow day for the English schools).
I will try to get some pictures of the snow for you at some point
and hey maybe when you come home for Christmas you can join me in a quick game of Snowflake Shovel. I promise to have some hot chocolate at the end of the game.
I am glad to hear that you are having fun with your interesting games. I read your blog post to my mom and her responses were as follows:
“Oh the poor sheep”
“WOW! What will she do for entertainment at home?”
My mom and I got a good laugh out of your games
Thanks for making us both smile
