How to play Sleeping Lions

  1. 1Everyone lies on the floor as still as a sleeping lion.
  2. 2One or two hunters walk around trying to make the lions move: telling jokes, pulling faces, making noises. No touching!
  3. 3Any lion who moves, giggles or opens their eyes becomes a hunter too.
  4. 4The last lion still sleeping wins.

Variations

  • Sleeping bunnies: when the grown-up sings “Wake up bunnies!”, everyone hops around, then lies down again.

Tips

  • Perfect for the end of a party, or right before the cake comes out.
