_2 to 100 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

The first player makes a back, standing either with his back or his
side toward the one who is to leap over. The next player runs, leaps
over the back, runs a few steps forward so as to allow space for a run
between himself and the first player, and in his turn stoops over and
makes a back. This makes two backs. The third player leaps over the
first back, runs and leaps over the second, runs a short distance and
makes a third back, etc., until all the players are making backs, when
the first one down takes his turn at leaping, and so on indefinitely.

VARIATION
This may be made much more difficult by each player
moving only a few feet in advance of the back over which he has
leaped, as this will then leave no room for a run between the backs,
but means a continuous succession of leaps by the succeeding players.
