Aim Find the Dragon’s eggs or the Queen’s crowns that have gone missing! |
Space Home / Garden / Park |
|
Equipment Five of something to be the crowns (you could use balls or t-shirts) Five of something different to be the eggs (you could shoes or pieces of card) Something to mark out two small areas, one castle and one dragon’s den (you could use rolled up jumpers or some twigs) |
|
How to Set Up Hide five dragon eggs and five crowns as far and wide as you can Dragons hide their eggs. Knights hide the crowns Split players into two groups and make one set the dragons and one set the knights Put a castle and a dragon’s den next to each other in the middle of where you’re playing |
|
|
Two Rules Collect one at a time only No taking anything out of the castle or the dragon’s den 
|
How to Play Dragons go off and find the crowns. Knights go off and find the eggs Once they have found a crown or an egg, bring it back and put it in the castle or the dragon den Go back out to find another piece! |
How to End
When the dragons have collected all the crowns, or the knights have collected all the eggs
|
Level One. Add Tagging Players can tag each other when they see a player with a crown or an egg If a player is tagged, drop their crown or egg, freeze, shut their eyes and count to 20 The tagger can go and rehide the dropped crown or egg |
|
|
Level Two. Add Fireballs Add five fireballs into the game. Scatter them everywhere and anywhere Players can pick them up for two seconds and then throw them at other players to tag them If a player is tagged by a fireball, drop their crown or egg, freeze, shut their eyes and count to 20 |
|
Level Three. Move the Dragon’s Den and Castle Keep the tagger rule and maybe even the fireballs too Rather than in the middle of the space, put the dragon’s den and the castle in separate corners, maybe near a fences or hedges |
