Introduction of game This is a good game if you want to learn each other’s names.

Step:1 Everybody has to sit in a circle.

Step:2 Ask an adult to pick someone to go in the middle. That person is the skippyroo kangaroo.

Step:3 The skippyroo kangaroo crouches on the floor with their eyes closed. While the others chant “Skippyroo kangaroo dozing in the midday sun, comes a hunter run, run, run.”

Step:4 At this stage an adult taps someone in the circle’s shoulder and that person has to tap the skippyroo kangaroo’s shoulder and sing “guess who caught you just for fun.”

Step:5 The kangaroo has to guess who tapped him on the shoulder by listening to their voice. If the kangaroo gets it right, the other person is the kangaroo. If the kangaroo gets it wrong, he is the kangaroo again.

Step:6 You keep playing until everyone has been the skippyroo kangaroo. If you want, you can keep playing again.
