SETTING

MATERIALS
- Nothing needed
- An open area with two clear end boundaries
HOW TO PLAY
1
One or two players are chosen as sharks and stand in the middle of the play area; everyone else, the minnows, lines up at one end.
2
On the signal, minnows try to run to the opposite end of the area without being tagged by a shark.
3
Any minnow tagged becomes a shark for the next round, joining the middle of the field.
4
Minnows who reach the far side safely wait there until the next round begins, then run back across.
5
Continue rounds until only one minnow remains untagged, who is crowned the winner.
