Mother, May I?

Add a new twist to the classic game of polite requests with this quick-on-your-feet variation. Players line up 30 feet from the designated "Mother," who then tells one player at a time to take a certain number of steps forward or back. The player thinks of a creative way to move and asks for permission. For example, he might say, "Mother, may I take twisting tornado steps?" Mother says yes or specifies other steps, for example, "No, but you may take baby bunny hops!" If a player forgets to answer with "Mother, may I?" he must return to the starting line. The first player to reach Mother becomes the new Mother.
