Doggy, Doggy, Where's Your Bone?

Get ready

1. Place a chair at the front with its back to the group.
2. Have the other kids sit on the floor facing the chair.

How to play

1. Pick one kid to be the doggy. They sit in the chair facing away with the bone under the chair.
2. Point to a quiet kid who tiptoes up, takes the bone, and hides it behind their back. Everyone else hides their hands too.
3. The group chants, "Doggy, doggy, where's your bone? Somebody stole it from your home!"
4. The doggy turns around and gets three guesses to find who has the bone.
5. If the doggy guesses right, they stay doggy or pick the next one. If not, the bone-taker becomes the doggy.

Tips & variations

• Have the bone-taker say "Woof!" in a disguised voice as an extra clue.
• Make sure every child gets a turn as doggy or bone-taker before you stop.
