Magic Stick Game

• Divide the kids into two groups and have them line up, holding hands tightly. The two groups face each other about 15 feet apart.

• Each side has a caller. The caller from one side shouts, "magic stick, magic stick send [name] right over."

• If John's name has been called, he runs to the opposite side, aiming for what he thinks will be the weakest connection. Him goal is to break through the line. If he succeeds, one person from the opposing side must return with him and join his lines. If he fails, he joins the caller's side.

• The caller from the opposite side then shouts, "magic stick . . ." and the process continues. Players can devise sneaky running strategies and use psychological tactics to spice up the game. Whichever side has the most players at the end of the playing time wins the round.
