Creep Mousey Creep! Song & Circle Game

November 6, 2019 By Sara Mullett 8 Comments

Here’s a circle game that keeps kids busy for hours! Creep Mousey Creep is  sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice, so it’s easy to pick up and simple to remember.

It’s the perfect game to play at parties or for a playgroup and it’s a great way to bring the group together in a fun but calming activity.

Role play games like these are great for building confidence and stimulating the imagination. Kids just can’t resist doing their best mouse and cat impersonations!

Creep mousey creep,

Creep mousey creep,

The old cat lies asleep, 

The old cat lies asleep,

But take great care if her whiskers twitch!

Very great care if her whiskers twitch!

Take great care if her whiskers twitch,

And keep very still! 

Let's Play Music : Creep Mousie Creep - fun circle game for kids - a musical cat and mouse!

How To Play The Circle game

  • One child needs to curl up, in the middle of the circle and pretend to be the sleeping cat.
  • The others creep around her on tip-toes, pretending to be little mice as they sing the song.
  • When they’ve finished the song, they must freeze, and stand still like a statue.
  • The cat then wakes up, has a stretch and inspects the mice.
  • The first mouse to move is the one the cat ‘catches’ and swaps places with.
  • So the next child has a go at being the cat.
  • Very simple, but great fun – and children love really getting  involved with the imaginary movement and role play.

    Would this be appropriate to use for toddlers?

      Hi Holly, This game goes down very well with little ones from 2.5 to 5 years. Younger ones would enjoy joining in, but probably not with the singing. It’s great fun though 🙂
