Soft Sound Slap

Preparation:

Print the gamecards, laminate them if possible and cut them out.

How to Play:

1. Two or three players sit facing each other.
2. A leader shuffles the cards well and gives out the whole pack evenly amongst the players with the gamecards face down.
3. No one may look at their cards and the object of the game is to 'win' all the gamecards.
4. The player to the left of the leader begins by flipping their top card into the centre of the players and reads the word aloud to the group. The players continue around the group doing the same.
5. If the upturned card is:

a) the giant - the children must say 'Fi-fi-fo-fum' loudly and then slap their hands on the pile of cards
b) the circus - the children must put their thumbs in their ears and wiggle their fingers and then slap their hands on the cards.
c) the 'Soft C Rule ' - the children must salute each other and read the rule aloud, then slap their hands on the pile.
d) the 'Soft G Rule ' - the children must salute each other and read the rule aloud, then slap their hand on the pile.

NB You can change the gamecards that signal the grab and have the children make up the actions and what is said. In this way you can also make the game as quiet or as noisy as you like.

6. The child with their hand on top of the pile wins all the cards.
7. The winner of the whole game is the person who wins all the cards.
