Group strategy is the key to victory in this classic summer game.

What You Need

• Paper towels or rags

Instructions

1. Designate a playing field about 25 feet square. Draw a divider line in the middle creating two "courts."

2. Pair off the two teams and give each player a "flag" (a paper towel). The players place their flags on their back or home line. (Variation use one flag per team). The object is to capture all of the opposing team's flags first.

3. Starting from the home line, the players dash into the opposite court and try to pick up a flag. If a person is tagged in the opposing team's court, he or she is out and must stand behind the opposing team's line of flags. If a player succeeds in snatching a flag, however, he or she is safe from getting tagged and can return it to his or her court.

Variations:

Players can either try to collect a flag and make it to home court, or they can rescue a tagged teammate instead.
