43) Crows and Cranes

Supplies
* any cloth, including his own socks

How to Play
Split youth into two teams. These teams are called the "Crows" and the "Cranes." Each player should stick a piece of cloth in the back of their pants, hanging out to be grabbed. Designate one side of the playing field for each team as their home base. Have each team stand near the halfway point, on their own side of the "line," and call either, "Crows" or "Cranes." If you call "Crows," the Crows chase the "Cranes" back to the "Crane's" home base, and vise-verse. As the facilitator, you may call either team at any time, to change directions or to add confusion. While chased, anyone who has the cloth removed by an opponent, must join the other team (they may then put the cloth back in). The game should go back and forth, without an end, players moving back and forth between teams.

Variations
This game can also be played as a "tackle", rather than "tag/touch" game
