4) Streets and Alleys

Supplies:
* None

How to play:
Have youth form at least two lines with approximately equal numbers. Each line should have at least 6, preferrably at least 8 players, and each person should be about an arms length from the people beside, in front of, and behind him/her. Standing one person behind the next, the group is in "Streets" mode. If they turn sideways, standing side-by-side in their lines, they are in "Alleys" mode.
Two players are chosen; one as "it", and one as the runner. Starting in "Streets" mode, "It" attempts to tag the runner. A facilitator can at any time, call out, "Alleys," and the lines must switch to the "Alleys" position. This blocks the runner from going straight, and forces him to wind in and out of the "Alleys" created by the arms of the players. Until "It" catches the runner, or until a set time-limit is up, the facilitator calls out, "Streets" or "Alleys" to have the players switch positions. Then two more players are chosen.
