Bear In The Pit

Source: Games For The Playground, Home, School And Gymnasium
Category: MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES





_10 to 30 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

A bear pit is formed by the players joining hands in a circle with one
in the center as the bear. The bear tries to get out by breaking apart
the bars (clasped hands), or by going over or under these barriers.
Should he escape, all of the other players give chase, the one
catching him becoming bear.

This is a favorite game with boys, and is not so rough a game as Bull
in the Ring, the means of escape for the bear being more varied. He
can exercise considerable stratagem by appearing to break through the
bars in one place, and suddenly turning and crawling under another,
etc.
