Chase and Catch Games Squirrel In Trees
( Chase and Catch, Running, Tag )This game is very like Hound and Rabbit but is a little less exciting and under some circumstances better adapted to very young children.
Most of the players stand in groups of three with hands on each others shoulders forming hollow trees. In each tree is a player representing a squirrel and there is also one odd squirrel without a tree. The teacher or leader claps her hands when all of the players must run for other trees and the odd squirrel tries to secure a tree the one who is left out being the odd squirrel next time.
