Game Description:
A childhood favorite from generation to generation!
Objective:
Try to out strength or out wit the other team.
Game Rules:
Each team holds onto half the rope. Designate a cone half way through, one team has to pull another team over to win. Before pulling tell children that they are not allowed to wrap the rope around any body part and they have to stay on their feet. If someone on either team falls, the round is done.
Saftey Considerations:
Two Main Rules
1. Do not wrap around any body part.
2. If someone falls, the round is done.
Progression (optional):
Introduce team building by having a coach on either team to be in charge of yelling "pull", this introduces the concept of team building and how a team is stronger together.
