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.
