Action Packs for Kids
Go Home, Stay Home
A game for the fast and the cunning - Go Home Stay Home is a real blast!
What you’ll need:
- Three or more mates
- A good place for running round and with lots of hiding spots - like a backyard, park, or playground.
- A 'Home' base - like a wall, bench, or tree.
The Rules:
- Everyone runs and hides while the kid who's 'It' (flip a coin to decide) stands at 'Home' base, closes their eyes and counts to 100 (no cheating).
- Whoever's 'It' then must try and catch everyone before they can sneak 'Home'.
- If you get spotted trying to get 'Home', you must get 'Home' first and yell "1-2-3-Home" and the name of who's 'It'. Then you're safe.
- If the 'It' kid beats you 'Home' and yells "1-2-3-Home" and your name, then you're out.
- Whoever gets 'Out' first is 'It' for the next game.
- The winner is the first one to get 'Home'.
Spotlight: Push Play in the dark - if you're brave enough!
Same rules but the person that's 'It' has a torch to spot you trying to get to 'Home'.
This game gets pretty loud, so make sure you ask an adult before you start. You don't want grumpy neighbours ruining your game!
