Tiger Games
Bay Area
Council
This Is My Tiger Toe
"It" sits in the middle of a circle formed
by the other players. It runs around the circle and finally comes to
a stop in front of one of the players. It may say something like:
THIS IS MY TOE! While he grabs his elbow. The player whom he has
challenged must take hold of his toe and call: THIS IS MY ELBOW!
Before it can count to 10. If a player fails or becomes confused as
to the names he should use, he becomes IT.
Tiger Tail
Bay Area
Council
The game is played like the old favorite, Duck,
Duck, Goose. Everyone sits in a circle, except for the one Tiger who
is IT. It walks around the outside of the circle tapping each boy
and saying: TIGER, TIGER, TIGER, TIGER --TIGER TAIL! The boy tapped
as the Tiger Tail must get up and race It around a circle back to
the empty spot. The person who doesn't get a seat is the next
IT.
Huff Puff Tiger
Bay Area
Council
Fun for small places. Have Tigers stand or kneel
around a table so that they are all chin level with the table. Place
a ping-pong ball in the center of the table. The person closest to
the spot where the ball leaves the table is out. In the end there
will only be two Tigers blowing the ball back and forth. One will
eventually prove to be the bigger "Blow Hard".
