Smurfs and Gargamels
In this game we have two teams positioned on the opposite sides of the playing area. The one team is known as smurfs and gargamels are the other team. The smurfs make an effort to tread softly to the gargamels. A neutral person will shout, smurfs are here. The gargamels then twist around and have to attempt to tag the smurfs. The smurfs have to run back to their side. The last smurf who stands till the last wins the game.

Snake Tag
Start the game with three to four members in a group. Try to get a lot of groups as possible and leave a person as it is. Have the members of each group put together collectively by holding onto the waist of the person in front of them to make the appearance of a snake. The person in front is the head and the person at the back forms the tail. To begin, the person that is it must catch the tail of one of the snakes of other teams and get attached it his tail. If he does it successfully, then the head of other teams snake must come off and he is now the head. You got to twist and turn to keep your snake away from loosing your head.
Sponge Relay
All players of the team line up at the back of the bucket of water. Counselors are at the supplementary end of field, on all four sides, with the cans latent on their backs.The first player dips his/her sponge into the bucket of water, then runs towards the counselor and squeezes out his/her sponge water into the can.Runner then runs again towards the water bucket and hands over the sponge to the subsequent person in line who repeats the same process.The team which fills the can first wins the game.
Streets and Alleys
First you must choose someone who would be the chaser and have somebody be the runner (the one to be chased). Arrange the rest of the groups up side by side in even rows. Everyone within the rows must join hands. One of the people standing in line needs to be the caller who will shout out streets or alleys. Start playing the chasing game that you normally would do, the runner and chaser must hang about among the people in the rows. The caller at anytime can screech out ALLEYS and everyone holding hands of others will leave their neighbors hands and take a quarter turn to their left and join hands with the new neighbors. The caller can at any time yell STREETS at any time he wants. Once more you take a quarter turn and holds hands again. Throughout this time the chaser and runner are still playing the game and they carry on to chase and run at the same time as the caller goes on calling alleys or streets.The game continues until the chaser catches the runner. Then you can select any otherperson to run, chase and call.
Towel Relay
Each team consists of 20 people to take part in the game, and splits them into four teams of five.To begin, the towel is first soaked in the bucket of water.Any one person of a team will sit on the towel as the other four people of the team will take him/her to the cone and back (everyone should be facing ahead at the entire time of the relay).When one group completes and comes back to the bucket, the towel is dipped once more, and the next group of five repeats the same process until all the groups of the same team have completed the relay. The team which finishes its relay is the winner.
TV Tag
In this different game, when the person gets tagged by someone, they are frozen and have to sit at that place only. To become unfrozen, someone has to touch them and must call out the name of a TV show (The Simpsons!). A TV show name can only be used only once. Play continues until everyone is frozen. The last person to be tagged is the chaser for the next game. Can also be played by using any other category, i.e. Movie Tag, country's name.
Typhoon
One team member sits on the ground at one end of the field while the remaining of the team lines up at the back of the bucket of water.First runner fills the cup into the bucket and runs to team member sitting at other end of the field. When runner reaches the supplementary team member, he/she throws the water onto him/her and shouts as Typhoon. The runner after that takes the place of the sitting member who runs with the cup back to the next person in line. The first team to get each and every one of their teammates through the relay wins the game.
