4 Ring Circus This is a great game to tire your kids out FAST! You tape four circles or squares onto the floor making a square. Make them about 6 ft apart. You place a jolly rancher or other small object in each of the circles. Start off with one person in each corner and when you say "GO", the kids have to run to another circle and take one object and bring it back to your own circle. The object of the game is to get three objects into your own circle. Be sure to have a few extra jolly ranchers handy to throw in the middle if the kids are having trouble getting three in their own circles.
