The Circle Test

Players: 12 or more
   
Equipment: None
   
Preparation: None
   
The players form a circle, linking elbows. Then all the players step back and pull as hard as they can. The object is to get other players to break the circle. When it finally breaks, the two players whose arms unlinked are out, and the circle forms again, smaller this time, but just as tight. No stopping is allowed, except when the break occurs. If the circle seems invincible, and it doesn't look as if anyone is going to unlink arms, tell everyone to take three steps into the middle of the circle (which relaxes it) and then quickly to take three steps back. This snap will often create another break.
