Around The Circle

This game is good for elementary school aged children. Have campers join hands and stand in a circle. One camper is "it" and stands outside the circle. "It" walks slowly around the circle, and then taps two campers holding hands on the shoulder and shouts "around the circle." "It" takes one of their places. The two tapped campers run in opposite directions around the circle and try to be the first one back to the empty space by "it." The first camper back joins hands with "it." The other camper becomes "it" and walks around the circle to tap two other campers.
