Game Play

1. Just as a spider has eight legs, so does this soccer player.
2. Form two teams.
3. Within each team, have kids form groups of four. Give each group of four a supply of colored cloth to tie their ankles together so they form a square facing outward. They must also lock arms.
4. Play a normal game of soccer, normal rules, with each foursome acting as one player.
