Shark Attack
Shark Attack is a favorite with large groups. (This
one was played at recess, a lot!)
Area: large playing field or gym
Equipment: none
Play:
Choose one player to be the Shark. All other players
are Fish.
The Shark goes to one end of the playing field and turns
his back to the Fish (No peaking!). The Fish go to the other end of the
field.
The Shark says, "Fish, fish, _________ in my ocean."
(The Shark fills the blank with any action command, such as swim, walk,
run, jump, hop, skip, duck walk, snake walk, ect.)
When the Shark thinks the Fish are close enough, she
yells "Shark Attack." When she yells "Shark Attack," the Fish try to run
back to the starting line while the Shark tries to catch as many Fish as
she can.
If a Fish is tagged, he becomes another Shark. All Sharks
must turn their backs on the Fish.
The original Shark keeps control of the game. As Head
Shark, only she can give the action commands or yell "Shark Attack."
Play continues until all but one Fish is left. That Fish
is now the new Shark and the game begins again.
