Hurricane






 Area: Gym or field with marked lines.

Equipment: None

Play:
Choose one person to be the caller.
Teach everyone the meaning of the following calls:

Roll Call - players run right end of the field and stand with arms straight down at their sides.
Inspection - players run to the left end of the field and salute.
In the Galley - players run to the middle line. They stand with arms straight out to their sides, horizontal to the ground.
Shipwreck - players must pair up and sit on the floor with feet touching. Players hold hands and rock back and forth like they are rowing.
Man Overboard - player pair up. One player gets down on all fours. The other player gently places his knee on the back of the first player. He then puts his hand over his eyes as if he is looking over the side of the boat.
Hit the Deck - players fall to the ground in push-up position.
Hurricane - players must get their whole bodies off the ground. (This is where creativity comes in to play.)


The caller shouts one of the calls. Players must do whatever the call tells them to do.
This game is most exciting when the caller shouts one command after another without waiting until everyone completes the first call.
