Hunters and Watchmen

Type of Game: Children - Hunters and Watchmen

Equipment: None

Formation: Teams

# of Players: 10+

Description: Choose one player to be the "hunter" and another to be the "watchman". Have the watchman stand in the middle of the play area and draw a circle around him 6 ft. wide.

The rest of the players are animals and run from the hunter while the hunter tries to catch the animals. If the hunter touches one of the animals they have to follow the hunter without struggling to the watchman where the watchman holds the animals.

Other animals may save caught animals by hitting them on their arm, but animals can't step in the watchman's circle to save other animals. Play as long as you like or until all the animals have been caught, then choose a new hunter and watchman.
