Witch Hunt

Type of Game: Children - Witch Hunt

Equipment: Sticks

Formation: Vs.

# of Players: 10+

Description: Give each player a stick and choose someone to be the "Witch". Have the witch draw a line of the border of her camp. Have everyone else start outside the camp. When the witch says "The witch goes out for a walk!", they begin to chase the players.

The player who is struck by the witch's stick, becomes their "son" and that player runs to the camp. The other players may save those struck by the witch by striking them to save them. When the witch returns to her camp she goes out again with her captured and holds her "sons" by their stick.

Then they chase the players together but only the witch can strike the others with her stick. Her "sons" may detain players so the witch can strike them. When the witch captures more than half the group the game is over, and a new witch is chosen.
