Hungry Hippos: Young Fives and Kindergarten Adaptation

Young Fives and Kindergarten are participating in an adapted version of Hungry Hippos.  The basic setup is the same, and students sit criss-cross-applesauce on the scooter.  They collect beanbags in their lap, and the team with the most beanbags at the end of the round wins the round.  Then a new student has a chance to be the hippo.  This lesson reinforces scooter safety concepts, space awareness concepts, cooperation, and one-to-one correspondence.
