Follow Me
DESCRIPTION OF GAME:
A marker is set for each player in a circle. Each player is then placed standing with one foot on the marker. An extra player is the guide. The guide moves around the circle, pointing at different players and asking them to follow. Each player chosen falls in behind the guide. The guide then takes the group on a tour, and the members of the group perform just as the guide does. The guide may hop, skip, do stunts, or execute other movements, and players following must do likewise. At the signal “HOME,” all run for places with a marker. One player is left without a marker. This player is out and helps to choose another guide.
