Human Checkers

HUMAN CHECKERS

TYPE: Relay

Place as many rows of seven chairs as there are people divided by seven (i.e. twenty-one people, twenty-one divided by seven equals three, three rows).  The players should sit on the chairs leaving the middle chair in each row empty.  The object of the game is for each 1/2 team to change sides with the other 1/2 team.  The way players can move is like checkers, moving one chair at a time or jumping over one occupied chair.  No player may move backwards.  If the team gets stuck, they must start over again.

Hint:  Instead of just six people per team, add one more person per team to act as a director.
