Partners try simultaneously to touch each other’s knees.  Not as easy as it sounds!




Port and starboard
Name parts of the rooms for the sides of a boat (port is left & starboard right if you want to get it right!), and the ends bow (front) and stern (rear).  Whenever you call one of the areas, all the girls run to it.  You can play that the last girl there is out, or to keep them all involved give a point to the last girl, then whoever has fewest points at the end wins.  You can also have loads of “ship” actions like “captain’s coming” (stand to attention and salute), scrub the decks, climb the rigging and so on – every company has their own favourites!




Sticky Glue
One person is "it" and tags whoever she can catch. When a girl is tagged she must stand still with her legs apart and can only be freed when someone crawls between her legs.  You may need to change the person who is "it" from time to time.




Sheep (from New Zealand!)

One Guide is "It" and is the Sheep Shearer. She chases and tags the others. When tagged they have to lie on the floor with arms and legs in the air bleating pitifully. They can be released by a friend holding them by the wrist or ankle and saying "She'll be right mate!" (in a suitable antipodean accent of course!)  The "sheep" can then get up and run around again - unless her rescuer has been tagged too of course!  It gets very noisy and you have to keep changing the "Shearer" as she gets worn out.  (posted to the guidingUK list)
