Sleepy Bunny (Variation to Dead Fish)

To develop body consciousness and listening to directions.

Remind students they need to find their own space. There is no touching in this game.
Ask how a bunny hops and what a sleepy bunny might look and act like.

Can be played outside, in a gym or in a classroom. Create boundaries for the play space.

The leader of the game calls out a magic word. Once the magic word is called, the students can hop around like bunnies and make as much noise as they want (if you are playing in a classroom, have students hop quietly).
When the leader says “Sleepy Bunny”, all students must do their best impression of a sleepy bunny. Often, this involves lying down (and possibly even snoring).
The leader walks among the bunnies, looking for movement.
If a student moves, s/he must perform a task (i.e. jumping jacks, running in place for 10 seconds, etc…) to get back in.

Instead of looking for movement, the leader may look for the “best” sleepy bunny, who will then receive a high five—and/or can then choose the next animal.
Changing the animal—sleepy cow/dog/cat/lion/monkey/etc… (students must act and sound like the animal)
