GAME: SHARKS AND MINNOWS.

ONE PERSON IS THE SHARK AND WAITS ON ONE SIDE OF THE DEEP END.
THE OTHER KIDS ARE THE MINNOWS AND THEIR TASK IS TO TRY TO GET
TO THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT. THEY TRY TO GET TO THE
OTHER SIDE BY SWIMMING UNDERWATER TO THE OTHER SIDE. THE SHARK THEN
TRIES TO BRING UP THE MINNOWS TO BREATHE. THE GAME CONTINUES
UNTIL EVERYONE IS CAUGHT.
