NAME OF ACTIVITY: Catch the dragons tail

GRADE LEVEL: Grades k-6

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: One rag or flag per dragon

HIGHLIGHTS: Safety in large group running, anticipating the movement of others.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Divide the class into teams of six to eight or so.  Have the students to form a dragon by hanging on to the waist of the person in front of them.  The last person of the dragon, or tail, is given a rag to hang out of the back of his pants.  The object of the game is for the head to catch the tail and pull the rag from that player.  If he succeeds he will become the new tail.  The old tail does not become the new head, he stays in his same order.  This game can be given a time limit in case a player is having trouble catching the tail.
