Materials: Nothing
Messy Rating: No Sweat
Duration: 5-20 minutes
Cost: $0.00
Works with any sized group...Have kids take their shoes off, then sit in a circle with all their feet touching in the middle (their legs should be straight)... Designate someone to be "it"--They need to stand in the middle of all the feet (Everybody should have their feet touching the feet/ankles/etc. of the person in the middle, so that "it" cannot move or twist)...The person in the middle is then given a push, and pandemonium ensues! NOTE: The person who is "it" should keep their knees locked, & as I say, assume a "pick stance" (i.e., protecting oneself while setting a "pick" in basketball).
The object of the game is to not let the person who is "it" fall on you if you're sitting down--If they do, then you're it!
This may sound risky, but for our group at least, it has been trouble-free, and the kids love it!
