How to Play:
- Either assign each student a partner or allow students to choose their own partner.
- One player is the "fox" and the other player is the "hound".
- The hound must follow the fox around and copy everything that they fox does.
- The fox will perform a range of different movements. Before starting the game you may want to brainstorm or make a few suggestions of movements to perform (e.g. jump over logs, creep slowly, lay on the floor, run really fast, walk slowly, etc.).
- After a few minutes, get the students to swap roles so they both have a chance to be the fox and hound.
