Instructions

Playing the Game.

1. Three players should make a ‘dragon’ by standing in a line. The second and the third players should hold the waist or shoulders of the player in front. The third player is the dragon’s tail.

2. Everyone else should form a large circle around the dragon. Each player in the circle should have one or two sponge balls.

3. The players in the circle should take it in turns to throw their ball at the dragon – they should aim for the dragon’s tail.

4. The dragon players should work together to stop the tail being hit. They should weave, duck, and dodge – but they shouldn’t let go of each other.

5. When someone hits the dragon’s tail, they should join the front of the dragon and become the head. The player who was the tail should take their place in the circle.

6. Everyone should keep playing until each player has had a turn as part of the dragon.
