2. The Moon Is Round
Required Items:

• The captain will draw a face with his/her left hand and say “The Moon is round, has two eyes, a nose and a mouth
• The captain will then see if anyone else in the group can do exactly what they have just done
• The trick with this game is that if a person is right handed they may draw the face with their right hand rather than their left as demonstrated by the first person. The captain may cough or hum during their drawing in which case to copy the captain the children must cough or hum exactly the same.
