A circle six feet in diameter is drawn on the ground. One player takes a lunge position forward so that his forward foot rests two feet within the circle. The second player stands in the circle on one foot with arms folded across the chest. The hopper tries to make the lunger move one of his feet. The lunger in turn tries to make the hopper put down his second foot or unfold arms. Either player is defeated also if he moves out of the circle. The lunger may use his hands and arms.

Two players sit on the floor with knees bent and toes touching those of the opponent. One wand is held between them which both grasp so that the hands are placed alternately there should be a short space in the center between the hands. The object of the tug is to pull the opponent up and over the dividing line. This is an excellent form of wand wrestle and will hold the interest of a class for months especially if a continuous score be kept for the same contestants.

Both players grasp a cane or wand and each tries to pull the other across one of the boundary lines.

Catch Of Fish

This is a very strenuous game and affords opportunity for some very good exercise and sport.

A line is drawn across each end of the playground beyond which the players stand in two equal parties one at one end and one at the other. The players of one party clasp hands to form a fish net. The players in the other party are fish. At a given signal both advance toward the center of the playground which represents a stream the object of the fish being to swim across to the opposite shore without being caught in the net. To do this they will naturally dodge around the ends of the net.

The net should inclose or encircle any fish that it catches. The fish so caught may not try to break apart the clasped hands forming the net but may escape only through the opening where the two ends come together. Should the net break at any point by an unclasping of hands the fish are all allowed to escape and the players go back to their respective goals and begin over again. Any fish caught in the net are thereafter out of the game until all are caught. After the net has made one catch the sides exchange parts those of the fish that are left forming the new net and the first net crossing to the other side and becoming fish. The two sides thus exchange places and parts until all on one side are caught.

For a large number of players it is better to have two small nets instead of one large one the dodging being livelier and the progress of the game more rapid in every way.
