Catching the Snake's Tail

Players: 10 or more
   
Equipment: None
   
Preparation: None
   
Players line up one behind the other with their arms around the waist of the player in front. The first player - let's say, Donna - has her arms free. She tries to catch the last player of the line - Alex.

The line, or "snake", twists and turns while Donna, the Head of the snake, tries to catch Alex, the Tail. Anyone who lets go of the player in front is out. So hang on tight!

When Donna catches Alex, she goes to the end of the line and the second person becomes the head. In that way everyone has a turn at being heads and tails.
