Beetle

Explain that the group will be playing this game for the duration of the activity, camp, day etc. At any time, one person in the group (the 'beetle') can call out 'Beetle' loudly. When called, players must quickly fall onto their backs and kick their legs and wave their arms like a beetle that has fallen and cannot get up. The last person to assume the position becomes the new beetle. This is judged by the current 'beetle', who remains standing on the call. Facilitator tip: At the start, instruct players to only call 'beetle' in a safe and appropriate area. Ideal for bushwalks, snow camps, or activities where players are constantly on their feet.
