Wand Tug Of War

_10 to 100 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

This game is played with wooden gymnastic wands, from three to five
feet in length, and not less then one inch in diameter. There should
be half as many wands as there are players. A line is drawn across the
center of the floor or playground. The players are divided into two
divisions, one standing on each side of the dividing line, so that
each player faces an opponent. These grasp each the end of a wand,
held horizontally between them. At a signal a tug of war begins, each
player trying to pull his opponent across the line. Any one who puts a
foot on the ground of the opponent's territory ceases the struggle and
must come across the line. The division wins which has the greatest
number of players on its side of the line at the end.

The game is best played in two or three five-minute intervals, with
rests between.
