Trees stand tall with their arms extended in the air. Both teams line up facing each other. Separate the two lines by about six feet. Place a piece of cord fifteen to thirty feet behind each line. Object of game - Each team tries to capture members of the opposite team.
Teams huddle and choose two plant types, first choice and a tie-breaker.
When parent-leader signals, both teams role play their first plant choice. Dominant plants try to tag submissive plants before they run behind the cord on their side. If team A crouches down like grasses and team B stands tall, then team A must try to capture members of team B before those of team B run past the cord behind their line. Captured students switch teams. Define and discuss succession.
