Rope at least 20ft (6m) long; mark a center line on the ground.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a center line on the ground and lay the rope across it with its middle marker aligned to the line.

2

Split into two even teams, each gripping the rope on their side and standing behind the last player.

3

On the signal, both teams lean back and pull steadily, trying not to jerk the rope suddenly.

4

Keep pulling until the center marker crosses a set distance onto one team's side.

5

The team that pulls the marker across their line first wins the match.
