Viper Mission

How to Play:

1. Explain to the children that in this game of tag, the person who is 'it" must slither on their stomach like a snake to tag the other players.
2. The catch is that the other children have only a small playing area in which to run.
3. Describe the boundaries of the playing area and make it fairly small.
4. Then, choose a person to be the snake and have her/him lie on the ground on her/his stomach.
5. All the other players should stand close to the snake and try to touch her/him.
6. When you shout "snake in the grass!" everyone starts running, but they must stay inside the playing area boundaries.
7. The snake, moving on her/his belly, tries to tag as many players as possible.
8. Anyone tagged becomes a snake, too.
9. The last person caught is the first snake in the next round of the game.
