How to Play:
Designate a playing area with clear boundaries. This game can be played in any large open space, indoors or outdoors.
- Choose 1-3 students to start in the middle of the playing area. They are the "British Bulldogs".
- Have all the other students line up, shoulder to shoulder, at one end of the playing area.
- The game starts when the students in the middle call out, "British Bulldog!" On this signal, all players must run (staying within the playing area) to the other side of the playing area, while trying to avoid being tagged by one of the British Bulldogs.
- Any player who is tagged becomes a British Bulldog for the next round.
- Play until there are only a few players left. The last few players can start as the British Bulldogs for the next round.
