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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
