Cat and Mouse
One student chases another — the group creates moving shelter.
High energy and high laughter — impossible to be disengaged when the mouse might run to you.
Instructions
Students stand in pairs. One is the cat, one the mouse. The cat chases the mouse. The mouse saves themselves by standing in front of any pair — the person at the back of that pair becomes the new mouse immediately. If the cat tags the mouse, they swap roles.
