Who: Grades K-5
Players: 15+
Time: 15 minutes+
Where: Large playground
Equipment: Cones
How to Play
- Line up! You are the “critters” and I am the “fox.”
- When the “fox” says “Go,” the “critters” must pick up one cone and bring it back to your side without getting tagged by the “fox.”
- If tagged, the “critters” must drop the “food” and become a “tree." “Trees” can tag “critters,” but they cannot move their feet.
- Play until all cones have been taken or until all “critters” have been tagged.
Check for Understanding
- How do you become a tree?
- How many cones can you grab?

Easy: Grab more than one cone.
