Caterpillar Limbo

A green pool noodle works great
 for this.  Add googly eyes to
make it look like a giant caterpillar.

 

 

 

     

Butterfly Game Ideas

 

Butterfly Matching

Print out several pics of butterflies and create a matching
 game or a memory game using the butterfly pictures.

 

Butterfly, Butterfly, Caterpillar

Play the game "Duck, Duck, Goose" but switch the words "Butterfly, Butterfly, Caterpillar.

 

Pin the Butterfly on the Flower

Played similar to the game "Pin the tail on the donkey" but use
 a large Flower cutout/drawing and butterflies cut from paper.

 

Chrysalis Contest


Featured Idea from Nikki at tikkido.com

Divide the children into teams, give the kids rolls of toilet paper, and then have them "cocoon"
 one of their friends.  After bursting free of the chrysalises and flying around the for a bit,
played another excellent game: who can pick up the most toilet paper the fastest?

 


Butterfly Badminton


Featured Idea from Nikki at tikkido.com

Butterfly nets from the dollar section of Target were the rackets,
and ribbon and lace made a beautiful "net." I let the kids bat balloons back and forth for
 the game. No keeping track of points necessary; it was all about the fun of hitting the balloon.

 


Butterfly Flutter

Create paper flowers of different colors (two of each).  Tape one set of the flowers in a large
 circle on the floor. Encourage the children to flutter around like butterflies onto each flower
while they listen to  music.  When the music stops, the butterflies stop and land on a flower.
Then pull out a matching flower of one of the flowers on the floor.  The child standing
 on that flower, wins.  Continue till each child wins the game.
