You need a starting line, which is also a finish line and a turnaround point such as a convenient tree. Players form two teams. E. When Player A says go, Player 1 tries to race from the starting line, around the tree and back to the finish line without being tagged by Player A himself. Player A must wait until Player 1 has crossed the starting line and then must try to tag him before he returns to the finish line. However, he must also avoid being tagged by Player 2 who will try to tag him as soon as he crosses the starting line.
Players divide into a convenient number of teams.
At the starting signal, the first person on each team carries the burden on his back to the turnaround line and back to the start, where the next person takes the burden and repeats the course. The first team to have all players except the burden race the course with the burden on their back wins. If the burden ever touches the ground, the team must start over. Everyone else lines up behind the leader one arm's length apart. The leader begins running and the players follow.
