How to play the Elephant Walk game
This game is perfect for kids who love to move and giggle! Here’s how it works:
- All but one child form a line, getting down on hands and knees.
- Players in the line face alternating directions (left, right, left…) to create a zigzag.
- Once everyone is in position, they begin swaying gently forward and backward—like a line of elephants.
- The remaining child becomes the “walker” and tries to crawl across the backs of the “elephants” without falling.
- If the walker makes it across the entire line, they win a small prize. If not, another child takes a turn and the fun continues!
You can play multiple rounds, switching walkers and encouraging teamwork. Make sure the surface is soft for safety, especially if playing indoors.
