"Bunny May I?
This is a good game for groups of kids up to about age 8 or second grade.
It is played just like "Mother May I?".
The "Bunny" stands at one side of the room or playground area.
(To make it extra fun, make a set of ears from the Ostra crafts
section and have the "Bunny" wear them.)
The rest of the children line up at the opposite end of the
room or playground. The "Bunny" calls on each of the other children in
turn, who then must ask if they can move by saying, "Bunny, may I move____
jumps, giant steps, hops, baby steps etc."***
The "Bunny" gives the other players permission to move by saying,"Yes, you may" or
"No, you may not."
The object of the game is to cross the space to the "Bunny" and
tap him/her on the shoulder. The first to touch him/her is the next "Bunny".
Children can try to move up when the Bunny isn't looking at them, but if they
are caught cheating, they must go back to the beginning.
***An alternative way to play is by having the "Bunny" tell the other players how
many steps and what kind of steps to take e.g.:"Billy, you may take 3 hops" to
which Billy replies, "Bunny, may I?"
