Before You Start:
Skills Practiced: Agility and body awareness.
Equipment Needed: One bandana.
- Have players line up holding each other around the waist. (DO NOT allow kids to hook fingers through belts or belt loops).
- Remind students not to run, they can only speed walk.
Set Up:
Set up a clearly designated play area.
How To Play:
- Have the last player in line tuck a bandana in his or her pocket so that it hangs down like a tail.
- Next, the front of the line begins to chase the end of the line, attempting to grab the bandana.
- Players in the middle can help or hinder the head or tail, depending on their whims. If the line breaks, the player who let go must step out, shortening the line.
Variations:
- Set up two lines of players, creating two dogs that can chase each other’s tails.
