Game Description:
A fun animal game that gets the kids running around.
Objective:
All participants stick a "tail" (pinny or flag) in the back of their waist band. Everyone chases each other and tries to grab a friends tail. If they are successful they put the "tail" out side the playing field and continue to chase their other friends. Continue until only one child is left with a "tail". After a few rounds the children will start to learn how to use their body to protect their flag from being grabbed.
Saftey Considerations:
Ensure the "tail" is not in a belt loop or any place that could cause a problem.
Progression (optional):
Give the children a different animal to act out each round.
