Steal the Bone

Sometimes Play Becomes the Treat

Recreation is no time to sit back, not for staff, or students. This is a perfect time to develop the students' observation and listening skills. Better yet, you can do it while having a fun time!

1. Randomly choose one student to be the dog.

2. The dog sits blindfolded with its back to the group.

3. The bone is placed behind the dog.

4. Players start behind a line and must try to sneak up and steal the bone without being heard.

5. If the dog hears something nearby he or she barks.

6. If the dog barks while a player has the bone then that player is out for the round.

7. If the dog barks three times without catching a criminal choose a new dog.
