MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES
_10 to 30 or more players._
_Gymnasium; playground; schoolroom._
An objective line, fence, or wall is chosen, and from ten to twenty
feet from it and parallel with it a starting line is drawn. The
players stand behind this line and toe it. If there be a large number,
they form in competitive files as for a relay race, the leaders of
each division toeing the line. Each leader balances on the forefinger
a gymnasium wand, the other hand being placed on the hip, and walks
forward to the objective line, all starting at a given signal. Should
the wand be dropped, it must be picked up and the effort resumed from
the place where this happened.
The first one to reach the objective line wins; or, if a relay, scores
for his division. The division wins that gets the largest score. If
desired, the winners, _i.e._ those scoring for the different lines,
may "play off" against each other, after all of the other players have
had their turn.
