What To Do
One person is chosen to be the leader. The leader explains the different categories of beans and demonstrates the actions for each.
French Bean – the player says bonjour and bows down.
Jelly Bean – the player wobbles like jelly.
Baked Bean – the player lies down on the floor in a stretched out position. Broad Bean – the player makes a standing starfish shape.
Kidney Bean – the player lies curled up on the floor.
Mexican Bean – the player calls, ‘Arribba, aribba, arribba.’
The leader calls a bean and all the players have to do the actions of that bean.
This can be played as a non-competitive game or alternatively competitively with the last child doing the bean action being out. The winner would then be the last person left in.
