Fight for the Banner

Type of Game: Children - Fight for the Banner

Equipment: Flag

Formation: Teams

# of Players: 10+

Description: Divide the group into 2 teams. One team occupies a fortress (chosen area). This team must stand around the fortress with their backs to the fortress. The leader of this team stands at the center of the fortress with the Flag in their hands.

Draw a line not far from the fortress. It is the trench of the enemy team. On the signal, the other team (or the entrenched team) tries to pull the defenders of the fortress over the trench line.

Players who are pulled over the trench line are considered to be a prisoner and out of the remainder of the game. The defenders can also pull their enemies into their territory and take them out of the game.

The game is over when the entrenched team gets the flag or one of the teams is so weakened that they cannot continue.
