How to play

In stuck in the mud, one person is "it". When they touch someone, that person is "frozen" in place. The frozen person cannot move and must stand with their feet apart. The only way they can become unfrozen is if a person crawls under their legs. Play continues until all the players are frozen. Then the last person to be frozen is "it" for the next game.

Human Traffic Lights

While the music is playing, all players must dance around the room and when the music stops players must bop down. Last person to bop down is out. Remaining players will await further instruction, being one of the commands from below. Players who are not in a group are out. The music starts playing again and the remaining players dance around the room. The game ends with a "shoot out" between the last two players. "Strike a pose" - each player strikes their best pose, worst pose is out. "Camping" - one player kneels of the ground and another player stands over them like a tee pee. "Traffic lights" - one player sits cross legged on the ground, one player kneels behind them and one player stands behind them both, all players must "blink" with their hands.

"Can Can" - five players line up shoulder to shoulder and link arms and do the Can Can. "Brady Bunch" - three players kneel on the ground and three players stand behind them, all players must clasp their hands and have big smiles.

British Bulldog

One or two players are bulldogs standing in the middle of the play area, and the rest line up on one side. On the call of "Bulldog!" everyone charges to the other side while the bulldogs try to catch them. In the classic version a caught player must be held long enough to shout "British Bulldog, one two three"; for a gentler game use two-hand touch instead. Caught players join the bulldogs. The last runner standing wins. Set clear no-tackling rules and play on soft ground.
