  • In a distance of 2 meters there is a rope lying on the floor.
  • When “start” is called, first two players run to get the rope and pull it under the feet of other children and back over their heads and put it back in the same place as before.
  • As soon as first two children slap hands with next pair, the next pair runs to get the rope and so the game continues.
