How To Play

REQUIRES: a clothesline -one clothesline for 2 or 3 teams, clothes pegs (2 per team) a paper with a picture of each team (a picture of a fish for the fish team, etc…) one squirt gun for each team. a laminated headband for each team

SET UP: Students play in the teams from the morning classes. Set up the clotheslines and hang the team pictures on it (with space in between them ) using the clothes pegs. Fill a couple buckets with clean water (several teams can share one bucket. Draw a line about 1 m away from the clothesline and make sure students know that they can’t go over that line. (If they do a referee might shoot them with a water gun or some such penalty

PLAY: The first person on each team puts on his teams headband. The referee yells “go” and the first person on each team runs to the water bucket, fills the gun and then runs to the shooting line and shoots any OTHER teams sign (NOT their own). (since they are wearing the headband the other teams can see which team they want to get revenge on!) When the gun is empty they run back to their team, pass the gun to the next person and go to the back of the line. Play continues until their teams sign gets so wet that it falls from the clothes pegs onto the ground. At that point their team is finished. The team with their sign up when all the others teams signs have fallen is the champion team and should get sprayed with water or some other fitting celebration!
