Kids' Lion Games
Lions have held the fascination of kids for generations. Whether cowardly or the king of the jungle, the lion commands attention with his mighty roar and shaggy mane. Lion games can help kids enjoy the suspense of playing make-believe, test their computer skills or have some quiet time. Kids' lion games can also help children learn about cooperation and sportsmanship.

Catch the Lion by the Tail
-
In "Catch the Lion by the Tail," children sit in a circle on the floor, facing inward. One child plays the lion by wearing a long yellow tail made of a strip of yellow fabric with a knot in one end. The lion walks around the outside of the circle and taps each child on the head, saying "lion" with each tap. When the lion says "tiger," he runs around the circle while the tapped child runs after him to grab the tail. If the lion reaches the vacant space in the circle before the other child grabs the tail, the "tiger" child becomes the lion.
