Shadowing
Equipment:
None
Play:
If you live in a large neighborhood, this Scout game is fun for elementary kids. It gets a 2 minute head start, and runs off through the neighborhood. Two "shadowers" follow him. After 2 minutes of pursuing It, one of the shadowers goes back to the group. The second shadower continues to pursue It, dropping pebbles as clues to guide the group in the direction It is going. When the first shadower returns to the group, he leads them to find It. It wins the game if he is not found within a certain period of time, based on the situation.

Swing the Statue
Equipment:

Play:
Each team consists of two players. On Go, each team does the following. One player takes his partner's hand and swings her round, then lets go of her hand. The swung player's momentum takes her where it will, then she must freeze in that position. If a player loses her balance and breaks the freeze, that team loses.
