Fox And Squirrel

_20 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

The players sit in their seats facing toward the aisles, so that each
two adjacent lines have their feet in the same aisle and face each
other. The game consists in passing or tossing some object (the
squirrel), such as a bean bag, basket ball, or hand ball from one
player across the aisle to another and back again, zigzagging down
each aisle, to be followed at once by a second object (the fox); the
effort being to have the fox overtake the squirrel before the end of
the line is reached.

With very little children, passing is better than tossing; but
with older children, or even with little ones, when more
experienced, it is well to use the game as a practice for
tossing and catching. The action should be very rapid. The game
makes much sport for young children, and they are very fond of
it.
