Classic Backyard Summer Games

This is British Bulldog with a twist. Mark out the playing area and put two home ‘zones' at each end (like end zones). One or two players (the bulldogs) stand at one end of the playing field and attempt to catch or tag the rest of the players as they run past. A player is safe if they make it across the line into home. Those that are tagged have to freeze in place and can only use their outstretched arms like octopus tentacles to help catch other players in subsequent rounds.
