In the spirit of sharing resources among Peace Corps volunteers, I give you
this collection of activities that was created by the ID practicum groups
assigned to Casas Austria and Eva and translated with the help of our LCIs.
The Romanian instructions for the activities are not direct translations, and
are written at their most simple. I hope that this book can continue to be
passed around and used and expanded upon by PCVs. Perhaps the Romanian
can eventually be corrected and the instructions improved.
At the end I’ve included more than just activities. We’ve listed in Romanian
characteristics of good sportsmanship, the social and mental benefits of
engaging children in activities, and an essay on Why Physical Exercise is
Good (for mental health).
I’m pretty proud of this little book which isn’t really all that much, but it
constitutes my first Peace Corps project. Even better is it the work of many
people, and wouldn’t have been possible without numerous individual
contributions. Like I said, I hope it continues to grow and spread and that
newer and better versions will spring from this and find their way around
Romania.

don’t know before the exercise begins that it’s a leadership

SETUP
1. Arrange participants in 4 rows or more, each row containing at
least 6-7 people. Each participant should have their arms
outstretched touching the fingertips of the person to the
right and left of them, creating a wall like structure.

*these rows are called streets
RULES
1. Neither the cat nor mouse can run under the arms of the
participants. They must follow the street or alley. However, it
doesn’t matter which street or alley they run down.

2. Only the leader can make the changes in directions, that is,
the leader calls streets or alleys. The participants change
formation with each call. As mentioned before, the cat and mouse
must obey these calls.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Leader stands in front of the rows with the cat and mouse
beside them.
2. The leader gives the mouse a head start in running through the
streets/alleys. The cat soon follows, trying to “catch” the mouse
by tagging it. Meanwhile, the leader is changing the formation by
randomly calling “street” or “alley”.
3. Once the mouse is caught a new game starts and a new leader,
cat and mouse are chosen.
*If the cat has too much trouble catching the mouse the roles
can be reversed: cat becomes mouse and vice versa.
TIPS
* Play in a large area so that the game can be spread out. This
requires more running and adds a little challenge to the game;
plus, the more participants the better.
