The Shark & The Mermaids
Required: Large pool
Players: Small to medium groups
How to play:
One person is chosen to be the shark and the others are mermaids. The Shark starts on the side of the pool close to the middle (the ladder) while the mermaids start at one end of the pool. When the shark says go, the mermaids must try to make it across the pool and back. Meanwhile the shark jumps in and starts to try and tag the mermaids. If a mermaid is tagged they are frozen and it is up to another mermaid to unfreeze them. The mermaids win if they each make it across the pool and back and are all touching the end of the pool. The Shark wins if everyone is tagged and frozen.
Rules:
•If you are frozen you cannot unfreeze anyone even if they are only an inch away.
•The shark may go under water.
•All the mermaids must have touched the opposite end of the pool before they can make their way back.
•Mermaids can communicate.
