Circle Seat Relay

Category: MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES





_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

This game starts with the players all seated, and with an even number
in each row. At a signal, the last player in each row runs forward on
the right-hand side of his seat, runs around the front desk, and
returns on the left-hand side of his own row. As soon as he is seated,
he touches the player next in front on the shoulder, which is a signal
for this one to start. He runs in the same way. This is continued
until the last player, which in this case is the one sitting in the
front seat, has circled his desk and seated himself with hand
upraised. The line wins whose front player first does this.

This is one of the best running games for the schoolroom. As in all
such games, seated pupils should strictly observe the rule of keeping
their feet out of the aisles and under the desks.

Players must observe strictly the rule of running forward on the
right-hand side and backward in the next aisle, else there will be
collisions.
