Go Fish Game
Requirements
Go Fish is a simple game that is popular with children (my 6 year old son for example). There are many variations of it, the rules here describe how it works on this website. It may not be exactly the way you are used to playing. Go Fish or Fish is a card game usually played by two to five players, although it can be played with up to 10 players. It can be played in about 5 to 15 minutes.
pre-made object cards
suggestions for objects: seaweed, coral, sea horse, shark, whale, urchin
Objective
Be the team with the most members
If there are no members of that team with the object called for than team members yell, “Go fish!” and all team members from non calling teams run for the base. If you get tagged you go to the other team. The game continues until one team has all members.
Description
Form 3 teams (or more for larger groups).
Go Fish Game Rules
Campers give their group a name and select a leader.
The leaders pull cards that have ocean objects written or drawn on them (important to have the name of the object on it). The cards are handed out to each team member.
How To Play Go Fish
Each team takes turns conferencing and deciding what object to call for, and from what team team.
The first team yells out, “Team __ do you have any__” If there are any members of that team with that card they must run to a base (wall or spot on the floor) before being tagged by any member of the calling team.
If there are no members of that team with the object called for than team members yell, “Go fish!” and all team members from non calling teams run for the base.
If you get tagged you go to the other team. The game continues until one team has all members.
