Description

Meaning 'fight of the roosters' in Portuguese, Luta De Galo is a two-person hopping game, faintly resembling rooster fighting. Once popular in Brazil, rooster fighting was thankfully banned in 1934 to protect animal rights. The fun and harmless hopping game, however, lives on.

Neckers

Instructions

Split the group into two teams and get each team to line up along the wall at each end of the room. Give each young person on each team a number.

Each Young Person should tuck a necker or a scarf into a pocket or in the waistband on the side of their trousers.

When a number is called the Young People should come up and face eachother in the middle of the room. Both players must cross their dominant arm across their chest (they're not allowed to use it). Hopping on one leg, they should both try to snatch the necker from their opponent's pocket - using only their non-dominant hand. If a player puts their other leg down or unfolds their dominant arm, they're out. The player who successfully keeps their necker/scarf wins a point for their team.

Keep calling numbers until each Young Person has had a go.
