Bread Basket Upset
This game is played in a circle formation on chairs or carpet squares. One child is asked to sit in the middle of the circle as the baker. Hand a picture of various breads –rolls, muffins, etc. – to each of the other children. To play the game, the baker calls out the name of a bread. The child holding that particular bread exchanges places. The game continues. When the baker calls out, “Break Basket Upset” all of the children must exchange places, including the baker. The child who is unable to find a place is the new baker.
