Description

A fun and challenging game that encourages teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking. It's a great activity for groups of all ages and can be adapted to various settings.

Form teams: Players are divided into groups of approximately five.

Create the circle: Four players form a circle, holding hands.

Choose the catcher: One player stands outside the circle as the "catcher."

Protect the chosen one: The players in the circle must work together to prevent the catcher from tagging the chosen member.

Rotate the catcher: If the chosen one is caught or the circle breaks, a new player becomes the catcher.

To increase difficulty: Place cones or other obstacles within the circle that players must navigate around while maintaining their formation.
