0. The line
immediately moves forward one place, No. 2 stepping into the place
vacated by No. 1. Upon catching the bag, No. 10 takes his place in line
with the rank, and passes the bag to his next neighbor, No. 9. The bag
is then passed rapidly up the line until it is received by No. 3, who
tosses it to No. 2. No. 2 in turn, as soon as he receives the bag,
dashes for the rear, tossing the bag as he goes to the player standing
at 10, who in this case will be No. 1. The line again moves up--No. 3
now stepping out to the place marked 1. The play is continued until No.
1 is back in his original position. The rank getting the bag around to
No. 1 first after he returns to his original position wins the game.
No. 1 should hold the bag up at arm's length as soon as he gets its as
a signal that his rank has completed its play.
DOWN AND UP
Players form in column of files.
All spread legs. First player in the column passes some object (stick,
stone, hat, eraser, bean bag) back between legs to the next player, who
passes it on. When the last player in the column has received it he
yells "Down" and runs forward astraddle the other players to the head
of the column. The other players quickly rise and the object is passed
back between the legs until all have carried it forward.
ZIG ZAG RELAY
Players form in columns of files.
Place four bean bags four feet apart at a distance of ten feet in front
of each column in direction of depth. At a signal the first player in
each column runs to the right of the first bag, passes it and then runs
to the left of the second, to the right of the third, to the left of
the fourth and around it and then zig-zags back. When he reaches the
starting line, he touches off a second player who, in turn, proceeds to
duplicate the first player's performance. Column finishing first
scores.
Eighth Grade
CROWS AND CRANES
Players form in two lines, back to back and at about one yard interval.
One line is designated "Crows" and the other "Cranes." If the leader
calls out "Cranes," the Cranes will rush forward about thirty feet
across a safety line, and the line designated as Crows will turn around
and attempt to tag his opposing player before he has crossed the
distance to the safety line. If the leader calls "Crows," the Crows
will rush forward to their safety zone. Those who are tagged must go
over to the other side. The team having the largest number of players
