How to Play

  • The parent tells a story about how a lumberjack (the parent) came and planted trees while the giant (the child) was sleeping.
  • The giant (child) needs to control the soccer ball in order to knock the trees over with the ball.
  • The lumberjack can replant the trees as they are knocked over by the giant.

Remember, don’t use your hands or feet to knock over the trees. You can adapt this game for younger or older children by increasing or decreasing the amount of trees and frequency of replanting.
