1) Cut the different coloured string, wool or Pipe-cleaners into short lengths. These are your worms.
2) Give each person playing a certain amount each (3 is a good number).
4) Set a boundary and then everyone should go and hide their worms. Remember where you have hidden them! When everyone has hidden theirs, come back together as a group.
5) Set a time limit and everyone should go and find as many worms as they can – do not collect your own!
6) When the time is up, come back together and see who found the most. After that, go back to where you hid yours and see if all of your worms were found…

Learning About the Past

Meet the Wright Brothers

On the 19th August 1871, Orville Wright was born in America. Orville became a famous historical figure because he and his brother invented and built the world’s first successful motor-operated airplane. Just like Tigger, they worked very hard and didn’t give up!
