GREECE - THE HANDKERCHIEF

-


A team game played in an open space by boys and girls.The children are divided into two equal groups and are placed next to each other in two parallel lines that are about 10 meters apart.The players are numbered - each row separately - from 1,2,3, and so on down to the last one, so that the 1 of one team is opposite the 1 of the other team, the 2 opposite the 2 and so on. In the middle of the space and at an equal distance from the two lines (so from both teams) there stands the "leader" of the game, who holds a handkerchief with an outstretched hand. Starting the game, the leader utters a number and immediately after that the children who have the number in both groups run to get the handkerchief.

We hope you enjoy playing this game.
