Crocodile Rides

Number of Players: 6-12
Ages 6-10

This game was played by the Paga tribe, which lived in the northern section of Ghana.  A similar game called "Alligator Crawl" is played by children who live in swamp areas of Georgia & Florida

Players divide into pairs, and each pair decides which one will be the Crocodile and which the Rider.

A large circle is drawn or marked on the ground that represents a pond, home to the crocodiles.  About 20 feet away is a line drawn representing the starting point, where the players stand.

At a signal each Crocodile begins to crawl toward home using elbows & bellies.  Riders walk alongside to guide the Crocodiles & to challenge any other crocodile who isn't crawling the right way.

The first pair to reach the pond is the winner.
