Cut out fish from construction paper. Attach a paper clip to the back of one side. Then make fishing poles using a dowel or stick, string, and a small magnet tied to one end of the string. Put the fish scattered out on the floor. Let the kids kneel on a chair and go fishing. If giving prizes you could give prizes according to a color coded on the fish they pick up or the person who catches the most. Another variation of this popular game is to have small paper sacks filled with a favor or candy prize with the paper clip attached to the top of the folded bag. The fishing pole should have a paper clip opened up to the shape of a hook instead of a magnet. An adult should be standing by with little ones to help them snag a prize if they have difficulty.
