20) Back to Back

Supplies
* an odd number of participants

Basics
Choose one person to be "It," and have everyone else pair off. Tell them to each stand, back to back with their partners, arms crossed. This is the "Back-to-Back" position. Have everyone then turn around, and shake hands. This is the "Face-to-Face" position. Then have everyone stand next to their partners, in a side hug. This is the "Side-to-Side" position.

How to Play
Call out a position, "Back-to-Back," "Face-to-Face," or "Side-to-Side." Everyone should assume this position with his/her partner. Call out another position. Everyone must rush to another person to assume this position. They cannot stay with the same person. While they are rushing to find a new partner, "It" attempts to pair up with someone, and if successful, the last person without a partner becomes "It." Each time a position is called, a new partner should be sought out. If the participants keep switching back and forth between two people, you might instate a rule that no one can pair up with the last two people.
