Tails
list of games | next game

Sent in by Kiersten of Belleville, Ontario, Canada

This game will have you chasing after your own tail!

This game is for 4 or more players and should be played in an open area.

To play, you need one sock for every player.

First, each player hangs her sock from her back pocket or waistband. (This is her "tail.")

On the word, "go," each player tries to take the other players' tails without letting anyone else get hers.

When a player's tail is taken or falls off, she has to sit down. Even though she's sitting, she's not out. She can grab the tail off of anybody who runs by. If she gets somebody's tail, she can hang it from her back pocket and start running around again.

The last player standing wins.
