Games from Around the World

Catch the Dragon's Tail (China): There can be as many participants that want to join (the more the merrier). People form a human chain by standing in a line and placing their hands on the shoulders of the person directly in front. The person at the very front is the dragon's head and the very last person is the dragon's tail. The goal is for the person in the front to tag the person in the back. The people behind the dragon head's job is to prevent the head from catching the tail. When the head catches the tail, the head becomes the tail and a new person becomes the head.

Luta de Galo (Brazil): Luta de Galo means "fight of the roosters." This game has two players but people can take turns, but there is also a variation with multiple players and the winner is the last person standing. Each player needs a handkerchief tucked into a pocket or waistband with enough hanging out so that the other person can grab it. Both players need to cross their right arm across their chest since they are not allowed to use it. Then, hopping on on leg, each player must try to capture the handkerchief from their opponent using his left hand. If the person puts the other leg down or unfolds their right arm, they are disqualified.
