Circle and Breakthrough Games Circle Race

( Circle and Breakthrough, Running )

The players stand in a circle a considerable distance apart and face around in single file in the same direction. At a signal all start to run following the general outline of the circle but each trying to pass on the outside the runner next in front of him tagging as he passes. Any player passed in this way drops out of the race. The last player wins. At a signal from a leader or teacher the circle faces about and runs in the opposite direction. As this reverses the relative position of runners who are gaining or losing ground it is a feature that may be used by a judicious leader to add much merriment and zest to the game.
