A Game of Filling Pockets

Kids like to wear clothes with pockets. They like keeping little things to play with or eat. Occasionally they are forgotten and then the clothes come out from the wash with muck in their pockets!



Here's a good way to turn this into a game. This can be played indoors or outdoors and the number of kids can vary from 2-4. Make sure the kids are wearing clothes with the same number of pockets and more or less of the same depth.

Gather small and safe objects. Divide them into as many piles as the number of children playing. Make sure they will all fit into the players' pockets. Draw the start and end lines. Between them draw paths for the players. Now distribute the objects on these paths in a uniform fashion.

Start the race. The kids are required to pick up objects in their path and stuff it into their pockets as they move forward. The kid which pockets all objects and reaches the end line first is the winner.

This game can be played a number of times. To make it more interesting, a parent can be involved in the race. The child can pick and put it into the parent's pockets. Kids enjoy a variety of activities, and such games are always a source of fun. Trust me - this game is simple and enjoyable. Play and enjoy!
