Teacher Notes

For this game a bin is needed, also a dice for each Cat team, and parts of mice.

The mice have been drawn on strong card. The card is cut up so that the different parts of the mouse are placed into the bin, which is placed at the centre of the parachute.

The following body parts are needed for each mouse. There should be enough to make up a complete mouse for each Cat team.

1 head –1 on the dice

2 ears –2 on the dice

2 eyes - 3 on the dice

4 legs –4 on the dice

1 nose & mouth – 5 on the dice

1 tail –6 on the dice

Each Cat team keeps together as a team.

The teams are spread evenly round the parachute.

Each Cat team has a dice.

The object is for each Cat team to collect the 12 parts of their mouse.

Cat team members take turns to throw the dice.

The dice thrower runs right round the outside of the parachute, then gets on all fours and moves to the bin at the centre behaving like a cat.

The player collects the body part whose score value matches the number thrown on the dice.

The player places the part collected on the panel in front of their Cat team on the parachute. The first Cat team that collects their complete mouse and has displayed it in the right shape on the panel in front of the Cat team, is the winner.
