Some Bunny Games
Play these quack-quacky, thump-thump-thumpy, squeak-squeaky games!
Bunny My Honey Says
This game is much like Simon Says, but with Bunny My
Honey making the commands. If the command is preceded
by “Bunny My Honey says,” the players may do as directed.
But if the command is not preceded by that phrases, anyone
who obeys is “out” and has to sit down. Here are a few
examples of actions that Bunny My Honey might command:
Bunny My Honey says, “Touch your long ears.”
Bunny My Honey says, “Stomp your great big feet.”
Bunny My Honey says, “Touch your twitchy nose.”
Bunny My Honey says, “Hop up and down twice.”
The Little Honeys Song
Inspire children to tap their musical talents (and show off
their special moves) by asking: How do you sing the Little
Honeys song? How do you dance to it?

Quack, Quack, Squeak
You’ve heard of Duck, Duck, Goose — now comes
Quack, Quack, Squeak! Have all the children sit in a circle
except for one, who is designated “Bunny.” Bunny walks
around the outside of the circle tapping each child on
the shoulder or head and saying “quack” for each person.
Whenever Bunny chooses, he or she may shout “Squeak!”
instead while tapping a child, then run around the circle.
The child who was just tapped — “Miss Mouse” — must
chase Bunny in the same direction that Bunny is running. If
Bunny reaches the gap in the circle left by Miss Mouse and
sits down before being tagged, Bunny is “safe,” and Miss
Mouse becomes the new Bunny. If Miss Mouse tags Bunny,
however, Bunny must go around the circle again and repeat
the game.
