Continents is a active game that can be played in bigger groups. The players try to move other players to their area (continent).
Required equipment
You need some ropes to mark the border between the continents.
Preparation
Cross two ropes on the floor to mark four roughly similar-sized areas, the "continents". If you have enough rope, you can also design the outside borders of the continents, but the border between the continents are most important.
Split the players into four groups, one for each continent.
Procedure
The players of each continent try to pull people of the other continents to their area. Any player thus captured by another continent becomes a (loyal) member of that community, supporting it further on. This will result in all players finally standing in one single continent; that continent is the winner (and actually, all players on it: everybody)
Variants
The players could possibly give a name to their continent, first.
Remarks
The game allows for many fights full of action. Take care that nobody is hurt! It is strongly suggested that the game is only played on a soft ground, for example on grass.
