Can anyone suggest games for a bunch of 3-year-olds that can be played in a garden/park? Something that will involve about ten of them, both boys and girls, possibly with prizes/a prize but not necessarily. Need ideas asap. Thanks!


and indoors: apart from 'pass the parcel', what else can you suggest for a birthday party? thanks!

It's a song. One of the children is 'the farmer', all the others go round in a circle singing

The farmer's in his den,

The farmer's in his den,

E I, E I the farmer's in his den.


The farmer wants a wife,

The farmer wants a wife,

E I E I the farmer wants a wife


The child 'farmer' picks another child from the ring to be the 'wife'


Then continue singing


The wife wants a child,

the wife wants a child

E I E I the wife wants a child.


Wife picks child


The child wants a dog etc


CHild picks dog


The dog wants a bone etc


Dog picks bone


we all pat the dog etc


everybody pats the dog.


Very simple, and I don't really understand the attraction, but my 4 and 6 year old still like it.

I can see it's not easy if you don't know the tune, but probably any other adult attendee would!

Hope that makes sense.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
