Activities
Jousting: Lay a
telephone pole, large log, or two by four on the ground. Two players
stand on the pole facing each other. They are each given a pillow
case filled with fabric, cotton, or anything soft. They then try to
knock their opponent off the pole.
Battle:
At either end of the playing space, set up in a row as many tenpins, or
pop bottles as there are players. Make a dividing line across the
centre of the playing space. Divide players into two teams.
Each team takes one side of the field and must not step over into the
other side. One team starts the game by throwing a volleyball or
play ball, trying to knock down the pins on the other side. The opponents
protect their pins by catching or blocking the ball with their hands and
bodies. If the ball hits outside the field and knocks a pin down on
the rebound it still counts. Play for fifteen minutes with the ball
shooting back and forth rapidly. With a large number two balls can
be used. The winner is the team that knocks down all the other teams
pins.
Catching the Dragon's Tail :
A dragon is formed by grouping the players into a long line each with
their hands on the shoulders of the one in front of him. The first
in the row is the dragon's head. The last in the row is the dragon's
tail, eager to lash to the right and left in order to escape the head.
Until the signal GO is given, the dragon must be a straight line.
Someone in the group counts "One, two, three, go!" On the
signal GO the head runs around toward the tail and tries to catch it.
The whole body must move with the head and remain unbroken. If the
head succeeds in touching the tail, they may continue to be the head.
If the body breaks before he catches the tail the head becomes the tail
and the next in line is the head and so on until each has a chance to be
the head and the tail.
