Avoid the Octopus
list of games | next game

Sent in by Tanya S. of Austin, TX

Don't let the hungry octopus get you.

First, pick one person to be the octopus. Then, draw two lines that are at least 20 feet apart.

The other players, the fish, then line up on either line.

When the octopus shouts "hungry," everyone tries to cross to the other side while the octopus tries to tag them.

When a fish is tagged, he becomes a tentacle and has to hold hands with the octopus, working with him to try to tag the other fish.

The last fish left wins!
