Running
• Set up a field with a “safe” line on either side of the playing surface.
• A designated player (“Shark”) must stay out of the safe zone i.e. in the middle; others
(“Sardines”) at one side of play area, behind a safe line.
• On coach’s call, Sardines attempt to cross from one side to other without being “munched”
(touched) by Shark. Any Sardines who are touched magically become Sharks and then assist
catching the other Sardines until everyone has been caught.
