Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather your group into a tight circle.
As an elimination game, everyone’s goal is to avoid being tagged for as long as possible.
On the call of “NINJA,” everyone is invited to sound their most ninja-inspired call while jumping back out of the circle into their most ninja-inspired pose.
Everyone holds their positions until someone initiates the first move.
A nominated person starts the game by attempting to tag the hand of another person with one fluid movement, holding steady at the end of the movement.
Whoever is approached may also move with one fluid movement to avoid the tag, holding steady at the end of their movement.
Tag attempts are repeated in the same manner, one person at a time, clockwise around the circle.
Anyone who is tagged is eliminated from the game.
Game continues around the circle until one last ninja remains standing.
Play two or more five-minute rounds.
