    Share Share Post
    Any number of boys can take part in this game. First two lines are drawn parallel across the floor, and then one boy is chosen to become the dragon. Then the rest try to cross the lines without being caught by the dragon. When one boy is caught, he helps the dragon to catch the rest. When the are all caught, the dragon is chosen for another game.
