Before You Start

  • Have players stand next to their desks
  • Randomly choose a leader

How to Play

  • The leader will stand in front of the class and call out “Ducks Fly.”
  • The children must now begin to flap their wings.
  • The leader will continue to call out animals by saying, for example, “Birds Fly” or “Crows Fly.” As long as the leader calls out an animal that flies, the children will continue to flap their wings.
  • If the leader says an animal that does not fly the group should stop flapping their wings.
  • Children caught continuing to flap must sit down.
  • Choose a new leader after every four or five animals are called.
  • The round continues until four or five children are left standing.
