Single Line Games
MUSICAL CHAIR
This game is played in a similar ay as we play the convectional musical chair. However, instead of chairs, a few participants will stand in one line keeping sufficient distance as chairs. While standing, alternate participants will keep their right and left palm on their waist making a triangular hook. The runners, after stoppage of music or whistle should insert their hand in the hook. Those who do not get the hook (chair).
GIVE ME A PLACE
Draw two parallel lines, one ¾ of the length of the other and a distance of a few feet in between. Players will stand on the longer line, bend and hold their toes with their hands. When the whistle is given they will go towards the shorter line, without changing their posture and find a place for themselves. Those who do not have place on the line are out. With each attempt, the line will be progressively reduced in length till there is place for just one person to stand. The one manages to find the place is the winner.
