In brief: First player of each line try to tag the last player.
Intensity: High
Introduction: A game inspired by seeing dogs running around in circles trying to chase their own tails.
The game was originally called ‘Catch the Tail’ in Propless Games’. I introduced a new version in ‘Prop-Less Game’ using clappers. I have now combined them and include the clappers as a variation here.
Prop(s): None
How to play:
- Form teams of at least 6 persons.
- Each team form a line with each person holding the waist/shoulder of the person in front.
- The first person (the ‘head’) will try to tag the last person (the ‘tail’).
- If the chain is broken while the game is being played, the two persons at the broken ends will become the new ‘head’ and ‘tail’.
- From personal experience, your group will end up laughing and rolling on the floor before long.
Caution:
- Avoid rough ground.
Variation(s):
- Instead of playing within the team, get the teams to play against one another.
- Give the first person of each team a clapper. He/She has to use the clapper to tag the last person of his/her own team, or as stated in Variation 1, another team.
