Chasing Games

Catch the Dragons Tail

Equipment

Band or bib per team

How to play

Children in groups of 6-8 lined up one behind the other all hold onto the waist of the person in front. Back person tucks a band or bib into the back of their skirt or shorts. On “Go”, the front person in line (Dragon) chases its own tail i.e. the front person whose hands are free tries to snatch the band from the back person. If the dragon does catch its tail, the head person moves to the end and takes up the last position. And the second person in line becomes the new head. Repeat several times, or until each person has had a turn at being the head

Variations

Each group tries to catch the tail of another group.
