To respond individually to a situation.
To develop imagination and dramatisation.
To have fun together.
How to play
* Tell the children they are cats of different sizes and colours.
* The cats play on a lawn in a park, surrounded by big trees. Draw circles on the ground to represent the trees.
* Select one child to be a dog, who is asleep on the grass.
* The cats walk around the lawn playing with each other until the dog wakes. The dog barks, 'Woof, woof!'
* When the cats hear the first 'woof', they run into any tree (circle).
