Hungry hippos

Another of our must do activities is life size hungry hippos. to replicate this at home you will need: A laundry basket, some small balls and a skateboard. At Sparkle and Ice we do this in pairs, with one person pulling the hippo farwrd and backwards but you can do this with just your elbows to steer. Here's some pictures of us having a go last year

or if you don't have a skateboard- you can try, with parental supervision, using an office chair, a broom, a box with a hole and some balls. See this version in action

If you don't have space or the equipment to play this as a competition then lay out a course with balls scattered and time how long it takes to complete it.
