PREFACE
Today we are playing Corre, Corre, la Guraca. Your goal is to be the last person left in the circle.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Before the game begins, everyone will form a circle by sitting behind a short cone.

  • Players sit in a circle while a runner jogs around the outer rim with a handkerchief.

  • Campers in the circle sing "Corre, Corre, la Guaraca who looks back will be bopped on his head!"

  • The runner must drop the handkerchief on a child's back and run, trying not to be felt.

  • If the runner makes it around the circle before the camper realizes that it's on their back, the seated player is out.

  • If the the camper catches on, they must tag the runner.

  • If the tagger succeeds, the runner is out, If she fails to tag him, they play again, but this time player 2 is the runner.

 
 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Remind campers about honesty.

  • It’s just a game, be supportive.
