Beetle Goes Around

Source: Games And Play For School Morale
Category: Sixth Grade





The players form a circle, facing inward, with hands behind body. One
player who carries in his hand a towel knotted at one end walks outside
the circle. After walking or running a short distance, saying "Beetle
is out, don't face about," he puts the beetle in the hands of someone,
saying "Beetle move," at the same time taking his place. The one
receiving the beetle strikes the player to his right, who, trying to
avoid the beetle, runs quickly around the circle to his place. If the
one to the right is caught, he becomes the new beetle. The game
continues until all have had the beetle. Those who have had the beetle
once fold arms, thus avoiding being given the beetle a second time.
