Chase and Catch Games Bear In The Pit

( Chase and Catch, Circle and Breakthrough, Hunting, Physical Contest, Strategy )

A bear pit is formed by the players joining hands in a circle with one in the center as the bear. The bear tries to get out by breaking apart the bars (clasped hands) or by going over or under these barriers. Should he escape all of the other players give chase the one catching him becoming bear.

This is a favorite game with boys and is not so rough a game as Bull in the Ring the means of escape for the bear being more varied. He can exercise considerable stratagem by appearing to break through the bars in one place and suddenly turning and crawling under another etc.
