Bat and moth
"Bat!" "Moth!" "Bat!" "Moth!" A listening chase game, just like a bat hunting in the dark.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 2 min to set up · 7 min to play · 1 min to regroup. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A soft, flat, open space
- A scarf for a blindfold, or just closed eyes
- Three or more players
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
- Together
Everyone stands in a circle holding hands. That's the cave.
One player is the bat, with eyes closed. One or two are moths.
The bat calls "Bat!" and the moths must reply "Moth!"
The bat follows the sound to try to tag a moth.
Swap roles and play again.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
