Port and Starboard
(I think my grandmother told me about this game eons ago. It sounds cute. Please don't ask me why I am researching children's games. I don't know.)
On the command (from the list below) the children have to do the appropriate action. After a while, start removing the last player to comply, untill only one remains.
Port (Run to one side of the area)
Starboard (run to the other side)
Captain's Coming Aboard (Stand to attention and Salute)
Submarines (Lie on the floor)
Hoist the Mainsail (run on the spot - like climbing the rigging)
Mess Deck (Sit cross legged on the floor - ready for lunch)
Davey Jones (Climb a tree, stand on a chair - anything so that you are not on the floor)
Up Periscope (Stand up straight and hold hands to eyes as though looking through binoculars)

Very nice game. Hoist the Mainsail makes no sense (please don't climb the rigging if anyone's hoisting anything - it's just not a good idea). You should add Walk the Plank (jump in the air and fall down) and Crew Overboard (point at someone else).
(off topic) It all makes sense now. The green color has turned all the way to red. We'll no doubt enjoy this last flash of color before everything turns brown, then the white of snow. Very nice.
