Sarah and Animaterra, it is so nice to be amongst the sane! Not to mention among those who know how to have fun.

Fox and Geese: There is one fox and however many geese. Shuffle-step a wide ring in the snow. About 1/4th of the way around, shuffle step a short alley inward then create another ring. Repeat at least once more then create a center 'safe space'. Connect four equidistant alleys to each ring. (You end up with a large wheel in the snow connected by spokes, with the hub in the center.)

The point is to not get caught by the fox but all travel is by path only. This game is subject to variation- for instance, it can be played that each one caught becomes another fox. This is especially helpful for puppy foxes; youngsters are at a definite disadvantage.

Have fun!
