Steal the bacon
Two teams, numbered players and one object in the middle. Call a number and both players race to grab it and get home.
- Players
- 8–20, two teams
- Time
- 10–15 min
What you need
- One soft object (a cushion, a scarf)
- Space to run a few steps
How to play
- Teams line up facing each other; number the players on each side 1, 2, 3…
- Put the object halfway between the lines.
- The caller shouts a number; those two players race to grab the object and run back to their line.
- Making it home scores a point; being tagged on the way gives the point to the other team.
Office tip: Tag, not tackle. Office shoes are not running shoes.
