Get Active!
Mr. Sloe and Mr. Fleet participate in a cross country race. Here are some ways to get active at home!
What Time Is It, Mrs. Fox? This game is for 3 or more players and should be played in an open area. The object of the game is to walk past Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox without getting caught. Pick someone to be the Fox. Everyone else line up on the starting line. The Fox will stand about 20 feet away with her back turned. The rest of the players say, "What time is it Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox?" Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox answers a time like, "It's five o'clock" and players take five steps forward. If she answers, "It's one o'clock" players take one step forward, and so on. The players can take any size step they want. If Mrs. Fox says, "It's time to eat you!" she turns around and chases the other players back to the starting line. If Mrs. Fox catches someone, he becomes the next Fox. Freeze Dance! This is a game for 5 or more players. One person is the music monitor while everyone else is a dancer. Select music and begin playing - stopping the music every minute or so. Everyone dances any way you'd like (safely) until the music stops, at which time you must freeze! The monitor looks around to see if anyone is still moving when the music stops. Anyone who moves is out and can help the monitor watch the remaining dancers. The last dancer not to get out in is the winner. Try dancing different ways (fast, slow, like a character, silly).

Popsicle Puppet Show
! Ask an adult to help you cut out these pictures from The Tortoise and the
Hare.
! Decorate them with whatever you have around your house (suggestions:
stickers, markers, cotton balls, scraps of paper).
! Secure the picture to a popsicle stick (or try a regular stick, pencil, or toilet
paper roll).
! Use your imagination to create the scenery for your puppet show of The
Tortoise and the Hare. Some ideas for scenery for your puppet show could
include fabric, a shoebox, jars or boxes, clothes (mittens and socks are
great!). Use whatever inspires you.
! How was your version of The Tortoise and the Hare different from the one
that you saw in the theatre? How was it the same?
