9) Poison

Supplies:
* any object that can be bumped into/ fallen on safely, designated "poison"
(I've seen this done using an empty trash can, but smaller objects also work)

Goal:
To be the last one standing

How to play:
Have group form a circle around the "Poison," holding hands. No one may let go at any time; if anyone lets go, both people involved are out. The group circles the poison, trying to pull everyone else towards it, while themselves, trying to stay away. When anyone touches the poison, he/she is out until the next round.

Strategy:
As the game continues, participants tend to team up in pulling the opposite side, or one person, towards the object, but they are not a true team, as they tend to switch loyalties continuously, working to pull whoever seems easiest to them (or sometimes to gang up on someone who always wins), while only working to keep themselves safe.
