Post a Comment. Monday, March 22, Captain's Coming. The players assemble in the centre of the playground or in a hall. A leader is chosen who calls out various commands. The commands need explanation before the game can begin. The group competes with each other to complete the commands. You can of course give the walls different names if you want eg animals, plants, numbers…. Players start standing in the middle of the hall and when one of the compass points is called out have to run to the respective wall.

Do this a few times to warm up and then if you want start eliminating from the game the last to reach a wall or make mistakes. A good caller will allow at the start players to pause at a wall, but later speed things up and call out another compass direction almost immediately after the last players have arrived at a wall. This becomes fun when additional commands such as Tornado are also used.
