STORYLINE
Today we are playing Crows vs. Cranes. In this game, the objective is to not get tagged and to make it to your end zone safely. Remember to always help your team and encourage others to do their best.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will divide the group into two teams – crows and cranes.

  • Before the game begins, line up along one side of the midline with your team facing the other team.

  • When I say, “Crows”, the crow team are the runners and have to get to their end zone without being tagged by the other team.

  • When I say, “Cranes”, the crane team are the runners and have to get to their end zone without being tagged by the other team.

  • If you are tagged before making it into your end zone, you need to join the other team.

  • We will begin a new game once all campers have been either tagged or get to their end zone.

 

Game 1: Call crows and cranes so both groups have a chance running and tagging.
Game 2: Play one round until there are only crows or cranes left.
Variation: Consider calling out names that start with a “c” to trick students (crayons, crickets, California, Colorado, cookies, clouds, etc.)
