Police Officer, Thief

Age: 3-10 y.o.

Number of players: more than 5.

The kids sit down in a circle, with one exception. One child is the thief. She walks around the circle (on the outside, clockwise direction), touching each child on the back/head and saying either “police officer” or “thief”.

The first child who is called a police officer has to run, so that she catches the thief. The thief is safe once he gets back to his place (after running in a clockwise direction).

Tip: Use chairs or sitting pads, so that the kids don’t forget their places.

Have fun!
