“This one is so fun in big groups, especially if they’re competitive teenagers. To play, just give each kid in the circle a PVC pole (we cut 8ft 3/4″ poles in half for field day). The players must keep one hand behind their back and use the other to hold the pole. The volunteer calls out right or left and the players must let go of their current pole and catch the neighboring pole before it drops. If it falls, that player is out and the circle gets smaller. ”
You’ll need a fun runner and the following:
You’ll need 10 dice per person – a quick trip to the dollar store will probably be necessary!
Object: To be the first player to complete all of the rounds.
Each player gets 10 dice.
Everybody rolls all of their ten dice at once. Each player pulls out the appropriate dice that they need to complete the round that they are on. Then, players pick up the remaining dice and roll all of them again.
Speed is of the utmost importance. The faster you roll your dice, the quicker you’ll get what you need to win the round!
When you get all of the correct dice for the round you are on, call out “Winner.” Everybody stops rolling their dice.
The person who won that round now advances to the next round. The other players who did not finish their round must work on that same round until they complete it.
Everybody picks up all ten dice and begin rolling their dice again.
The person who is the first one to finish all of the rounds is the winner.

The idea of the game is to roll the five dice simultaneously, and to get a 6 – which is the ship, a 5 -which is the captain, and a 4 – which is the crew. The remaining two dice add up to make the “cargo”, which is the player’s point for the round.
