The Crane
            
            Play this game like "London 
            Bridge Is Falling Down" sing the words to 
            that tune and have the children walk under the crane. After two 
            children have 
            been caught, they may form another crane for the rest to walk under.
            
            Lift the dirt up in a crane
            In a crane, in a crane
            Lift the dirt up in a crane
            Dump into the dump truck 
            (Drop hands to catch child)
            
                 
            
            
            Pin the Tools on Bob
            
            This is just like 
            Pin the tail on the Donkey. Get a poster of Bob the Builder
 and create a few cardboard tools for the kids to pin on while blindfolded.
               
            
            Tool Shapes
            
            Use tool shapes as a 
            matching game the shape to the outline. Just trace
 the shape to the construction paper and cut out and then just trace a
 shape to another piece of construction paper and let them match them.
            
 
      
      Toolbox Game
      
      Put one tool in a toolbox and 
      sit in front of children.  Hold toolbox up to one child,
 quickly open box, 
      let child see tool, and close box. Have child tell which tool he saw.
 Put two 
      tools in toolbox. Let child see
 the tools and close box. Open
 and remove one tool. Let child look in the 
      box and tell which tool is missing.
            
       
            
      Scoop's Scooping Game
            
      Divide your group into 
      two equal teams. Give each team a bucket, bowl,
 or dump truck. Then give each person of every team a spoon and a pile of 
      sand. 
      Have each team sit around the bucket, and when you say "go" each team has 
      to try and
 fill their bucket with sand using only their spoons. The team to fill 
      their bucket first wins.
            
         
            
      Dress the Builder
            
      Divide the kids into two 
      teams and have them select one team member to dress.
 Give each team a T-shirt, a flannel shirt, jeans, socks, work gloves, 
      goggles, 
      tool belt and tools. The first team to dress the person wins the game! 
      Another
 variation of this game is to have each team take a roll of caution tape 
      and 
      wrap it around one kid until he's completely covered. First team to finish 
      wins.
            
       
            
      Roley the Steamroller's Relay
            
      Divide the group of kids into 
      two teams. Within each team, group the children in pairs
 (if there is an odd number of kids, have one group of three). Make a start 
      and finish
 line for each team and mark it off with caution tape. Have each team stand 
      in a line,
 while the pairs are standing next to each other. Then have the first kid 
      from each pair
 cross his/her arms across the chest and lie down on the ground (this kid 
      is going to be the
 "rollee"). The other kid from the pair rolls his/her partner to the finish 
      line. Once they reach
 the finish line, the next pair should be ready to roll. As prizes, you can 
      give steamroller trucks. 
            
       
            
      Wheel Barrow Races
            
      Divide the group of kids 
      into two equal teams and have each standing in a single file
 line one after the other. Then tell the first kid in each line to get on 
      their hands
 and knees. To start the game, the second player of each line grabs the 
      first kid's
 ankles and holds up their legs (so that they can walk on their hands). 
      Then have them
 race to a designated area and reverse back. Continue this until the first 
      team to finish wins.
            
       
            
      Wendy's Clean-Up Relay
            
      Divide the group of kids 
      into two teams. Line them up on one side of a large play area
 and place buckets on the other side of the play area. Then, for each team 
      place a
 claw toy (the kind where you squeeze the handle to open the claw on the 
      other end)
 and an equal number of blocks right by the buckets. To start the game, the 
      first person
 on each team runs as fast as they can to their team's blocks and uses the 
      claw to
 pick one block up and put it in the bucket. When they finish, they return 
      to their team and tag
 the next kid who continues doing the same thing. The first team to finish 
      is the winning team. 
            
       
            
      Foreman Says
            
      Here's a cool variation 
      on one of the classic party game ideas: 
      Simon Says. One child should wear a construction helmet and can be the one 
      to call 
      out the commands. The kid says "Foreman Says" and the others do as they 
      are told.
 Some command examples are: dig with a shovel, mix cement, drive a truck, 
      hammer
 a nail, etc. If the "Foreman" doesn't say "Foreman Says" the others stay 
      still. Those who do
 move are out. Play continues until only one contestant remains and is 
      declared the winner. 
            
            
            
      Find Bob's Phone Hunt
            
      Hide a bunch of toy cell 
      phones (which you can find at candy stores with candy in them).
 Gather all of the kids together, have a phone ring in your pocket, and 
      then say "Oh no, Bob
 the Builder has lost his cell phone again and it's ringing!!" Then give 
      the kids five to ten minutes to
 run around the classroom and search for the phones. Make sure everyone 
      gets a phone in the end.
