Monty’s Super Swimmer Game Make enough copies of each splash and lily pad for each child to leap from one side of the play area to the other. Cut out the lily pads and splashes, color them, and arrange them across the play area. Ask the children to “swim” to the other side of the play area by using the splashes as stepping stones. No one may touch the lily pads. If they touch the lily pads or fall off the splashes they must start over. Set a time limit for children to cross the river and start swimming!
