How to Play Wolf - Sheep - Stones
A tag game for warming up large groups:
One player is the wolf, one is the sheep, and all the others stand around the room paired up and linked ("stones"). The wolf tries to catch the sheep (by tagging). If the sheep is tagged, the sheep becomes the wolf and the wolf becomes the sheep.
A sheep can also break off the chase by stopping at a pair of players (a stone) and linking arms with one of them. The other player of that pair (the one the sheep didn't link to) then becomes the wolf and the wolf becomes the sheep.
Variant for smaller groups: Each player is a stone. The stones crouch on the floor. The sheep crouches in the spot of a stone, becomes a stone itself, the stone becomes the wolf, and the wolf becomes the sheep.
This game is also known as Princess - Dragon - Towers.
