Players: 8
or more; all levels
Where: Indoors in a gym or outdoors
Equipment: None
Object:
One rider tries
to tag other riders, temporarily stopping them until two other riders get them
back in the game.
Play:
Choose one rider
to be the Chaser. The Chaser begins when everyone else is riding and tries to
tag other riders. Once tagged, the rider must dismount until two other riders
come by and each grab one of the tagged rider’s hands to get him or her unstuck
and back in the game. Play continues until everyone is stuck. Last person
tagged becomes the Chaser for the next round.
None. If there
are many players, divide into groups by skill level.
Variations:
The game could
be played where only one rider is needed to pull another rider free.
Add conditions,
such as it must be either two riders or one Level 1 rider who can free another
rider.
Or, it must be
two riders of exactly the same skill level who work as a team to free another
rider. If there is a rider who is the only one of that skill level, that rider
would not be able to free others for that round.
Other conditions
for teams could include riders whose skill levels combined equal a certain
number, such as six; or riders who are at least two skill levels apart, such as
a Level 2 and a Level 5.
