Materials Required:
- A white drawing sheet.
- A card board paper.
- Glue and Scissors.
How to Play:
- Draw a big dog bone on a white drawing sheet.
- Paste it on the card board using glue.
- Cut out the dog bone.
- Now, draw a circle on the ground and place the dog bone at the center.
- Take ten steps away from the circle and draw a Start line.
- Similarly, draw another start line on diametrically opposite side of the circle.
- Divide the kids into 2 teams.
- Make the teams line up behind their respective start lines in the descending order of their heights (the tallest kid on the front and shortest at the back).
- Give some cool dog names to each corresponding kid of both the teams, such as – Rock, Donzo, Ella, Tipsy, Pluto etc.
- Kids have to stand with their legs wide open, just like an inverted “V”.
- When the game starts the judge calls out a dog’s name. For example, Pluto!
- On this, the Plutos’ of both the teams have to bark once (“Woof-Woof”) and crawl on their knees (like a dog) from under the legs of their standing team mates and reach the circle.
- Once they have reached the circle then they can stand back in normal position.
- Both the Plutos’ will now move around the circle keeping an eye on each other and look for the best opportunity to quickly grab the dog bone and rush back to their respective start line without getting tagged by the other one.
- If the Pluto, running back with the dog bone, is tagged by the other one before he crosses his respective start line, then his team will lose one point and the opposition will gain one.
- If the Pluto succeeds then his team will gain one point and the opposition will lose one.
