Mamba

One player is chosen as the mamba, or snake, and stands apart from the rest of the group.

At the signal, the mamba chases the other players and tries to tag one of them.

The first player tagged joins the mamba by holding onto their waist or shoulders, becoming part of the snake's body.

Only the player at the very front of the growing chain, the snake's head, is allowed to reach out and tag new players.

Each newly tagged player links onto the back of the chain, so the snake grows longer and harder to escape as play continues.

The game ends when every player has been absorbed into the mamba, and the last player caught becomes the head of the snake for the next round.
