Lily Pad Jump
Set out the lily pads on the floor. Have the children hop from one lily pad to another.
Lily Pad Musical Chairs
Set out the lily pads on the floor in a circle. Have the children walk around the circle of lily pads. When the music stops have the children race to their favorite lily pad. Every child should have a lily pad to stand on.
