How to Play 

  • Line up! You are the “critters” and I am the “fox.”
  • When the “fox” says “Go,” the “critters” must pick up one cone and bring it back to your side without getting tagged by the “fox.”
  • If tagged, the “critters” must drop the “food” and become a “tree." “Trees” can tag “critters,” but they cannot move their feet.
  • Play until all cones have been taken or until all “critters” have been tagged.

Check for Understanding 

  • How do you become a tree?
  • How many cones can you grab?
