Hi Trudie
It’s st george’s day tomorrow (and shakespeare’s birthday In 1564 he also died on 23rd April in 1616 )so would be good to recognise that as we did st Patrick’s day
Here’s a link to the story of st George and the dragon http://www.stgeorgesholiday.com/downloads/St_George_Dragon_Story.pdf
From these below dragons chase may work - make the boys be princesses and the girls dragons??
And save the princess may also work
This is just copied from a website

here are a lot of good old English classic games that are traditionally played on St Georges day. Many are played in pubs and not so suited to small children and some require a bit of investment so why not try out my 'adapted' versions instead:
· Toss the Ring (Quoits)
Make your own quoits by securing 2 wooden pegs into the ground about 1 foot apart. Stand the kids about 6 feet away and get them to throw small rubber rings (cheap rubber rings bought from pet shops are perfect!) onto the stakes. Give points for the closest and extra points if they manage to get their ring on one of the post.
· Bash the Castle
This is my homemade version of skittles and great fun for those budding knights who want to do battle. Secure a long piece of rope to a ball by first putting the ball in a netting sack or cloth bag and then tying the rope to it. A football is perfect. Tie the rope to a high branch of a tree or to a swing frame so that the ball hangs about 6 inches off the ground. The ball should be able to swing freely. Make some skittles (castle walls) by filling several liter plastic drinks bottles with sand to weigh them down and arrange these on the ground below the ball and rope. You could even paint the bottles first in different colors. The children take it in turns to 'bash the castle' by pulling the rope back and then letting the ball swing. You could have one special skittle in the middle which is the gate of the castle and when that is knocked down the game is over, and the kid who knocked it down is declared king of the castle.
· Dragons Eye
Get a large wooden board (you know that one at the bottom of the shed!) and bang several long nails into it but make sure to leave the nails sticking out a couple of inches. Paint a number next to each nail with the center nail being marked as the 'Dragon's eye'. Hang the board on a wall or tree and the kids take turns to toss a plastic or rubber ring at the board with the aim of getting the dragon's eye or as many points as possible.
· Dragon Chase
You need lots of kids for this St Georges Day game and a large space. Select one person to be the fearful dragon and everyone else are knights or princesses. The knights and princesses line up on one side of the garden except the fearful dragon who stands a few meters away. When the dragon shouts "Fire, fire", everyone must run down to the other side of the garden and past him whilst he tries to catch someone. Whoever is caught is turned into a dragon and becomes his partner and together they try to catch more people when the knights and princesses have to run the other way. The game continues until there is one person left to catch and he/she is declared the champion knight/princess.
· Slay the Dragon Piñata
This can be the finale to the party and is a great way for all those budding knights and princesses to test their skill at slaying the dragon. Fill the piñata with sweets, trinkets and chocolate golden coins. Get the kids to take turns at bashing it with a plastic sword or one made out of wood. Here's how to Make your own pinata
· Save the Princess
You need quite a few kids for this game and an odd number and preferably quite a bit of space. One person is chosen as the princess and the others divide into pairs with one of the pair being St. George and the other his horse. The horses form a circle and the St Georges form another larger circle around them. Meanwhile the princess goes and sits a few meters away. Either put on some music or get the kids to sing a rhyme and at the same time the horses must walk around clockwise whilst the St Georges walk around anti-clockwise. When the princess shouts "HELP", each St George must run to his horse, jump on his back and then they both race to save the princess. The first one to reach her is declared the hero.
