Exercise
All children sit in a circle on a dot.
Outside the circle one child walks
(A).
He/she gently taps all the children he passes on the head, saying the word ‘banana’ each time.
After several times child A suddenly says ‘Arie!’
Child A runs away and the child that was tapped
(B) with ‘Arie’ jumps up and tries to tap child A.
Child A has to run a full circle around the circle Run until he/she reaches child B’s dot.
If he/she succeeds without being tapped, child B may run around the circle next and gently tap all the children on their heads.
