The Stick Game

“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. ”
