Description

A team race to tie knots in ropes to pull a chair across the room

Resources

A length of rope per player.
A chair per team (2 teams works best)

Instructions

This game is based on ropework.
Divide into two teams and give each member of the team a piece of rope each. Place
the two chairs at the top of the den, in front of each team.
Using a bowline knot, attach one piece of rope to one front leg of each chair. When
both teams are ready,
starting with the first player of each team, they must attach their piece of rope to the
one on the chair, using a reef knot. He stays there when finished. The next boy runs
up and ties his rope onto the last one and so on until all the boys have tied their rope
making a long chain.
The last person when finished, must sit on the chair, he is the elephant.
When all have finished the other boys pick up their chain and pull the chair back to
their starting point. The first team finished, with all knots tied correctly and standing in
a straight line behind the elephant, wins.
