How to Play:
Designate a playing area - this game can be played in any large open area, indoors or outdoors.
- Choose 2-5 students to be "it".
- If you get tagged, you become a dead ant and must lie down on the floor and stick one leg and one leg in the air.
- In order to be set free and rejoin the game, you need to have one person attached to your leg and one person attached to your arm.
- Players can help to set ants free by attaching themselves (with their two hands) to either a raised arm or leg. Players that are attached to a leg or arm can't be tagged.
- To be set free, the people attached to your leg and arm must gently set your leg and arm down on to the ground at the same time and then all three players can rejoin the game.
