Steal the Flingsock

Steal the Flingsock or Steal the Handkerchief is a traditional children's game most played in Europe. The game fits well to be directed by a teacher or an adult that takes care to give same chances to both teams and all players.

• Chose a referee (maybe the teacher or some adult).
• Create two teams and line them up at a distance enough to run across from each other
• The referee will stand with the handkerchief in the center between both teams.
• Teams assign a different number to each player.
• On each turn: the referee will say a number and the players with that number will try to steal the handkerchief without being tagged. The one that manages to return with his/her team gets a point. If tagged, the other team gets the point.
