What you need
- Nothing
Setup
Everyone pairs up and links elbows, with each pair standing apart and their free arms on their hips. Pick one chaser and one runner.
How to play
- The chaser tries to tag the runner.
- To be safe, the runner hooks elbows with one end of a pair.
- The person on the other end of that pair is now the runner, and has to run.
- If the chaser tags the runner, they switch roles instantly.
How to win
No winner, just fast, funny chaos. Play until energy runs out.
Leader tips
- Takes a minute to understand, then kids love it. Walk through it slowly first.
