RED ROVER
THIS GAME IS PLAYED WITH TWO TEAMS MADE UP OF THREE
PEOPLE OR MORE. THE TEAMS STAND OPPOSITE EACH OTHER
AND ABOUT 100 FEET APART. ONE TEAM BEGINS BY SAYING:
RED ROVER, RED ROVER, LET (NAME) COME OVER.
THEN THIS TEAM JOIN HANDS AND STAND APART. THE OBJECT
OF THE GAME IS FOR THE CHOSEN PERSON TO RUN OVER AND
BREAK THROUGH THE WEAKEST LINK IN THE CHAIN. IF HE
SUCCEEDS IN BREAKING THROUGH, ONE OF THE CHILDREN
ON THAT TEAM GOES OVER TO THE OTHER TEAM. IF THE
CHOSEN PERSON DOES NOT BREAK THROUGH, THEN HE MUST
JOIN THAT TEAM. THE GAME THEN PROCEEDS WITH THE
OPPOSITE TEAM DOING THE SAME THING, AND EACH TEAM
ALTERNATES AT TAKING THEIR TURNS. THE GAME ENDS
WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM (MEMBER LEFT?)
