How to play
Players sit in a circle. One player is "it". They walk around the circle patting people on the head saying "Duck". When they say "Goose", they race the player who was tagged around the circle. Players run opposite directions. Last one back to the spot is "it" for next round. (Variation: Try with multiple people who are "it")

Archery
Players shoot a set number of arrows at a target, scoring by ring, highest total wins. Run it in small flights with a clear rotation: shoot, wait for the all-clear, then collect arrows together. This game needs real supervision — an instructed adult running the line, one shooter per target lane, and everyone else behind the shooting line until arrows are called. A local range or camp archery setup provides the equipment and the safety briefing for you.

Dragon Tail
In the game, players form groups of five, linking arms to create a "Dragon." The "Dragon Head" leads, and the "Tail" is a ribbon attached to the last person. The objective is to capture the enemy's "Tail" by pulling it off. Only players other than the "Dragon Head" can capture the tail. When successful, the last person is removed, and the tail is reattached to the next player. Meanwhile, other "Dragons" can continue moving and attacking. The game ends when an opponent's "Dragon" is reduced to only the "Dragon Head," with the winning team declared. Breaking the arm link immobilizes the segment, emphasizing the need for careful movement. The game continues until only one "Dragon" remains with the "Dragon Head" as the sole survivor.
