Tug-of-War Variations

  1. Have two water-filled balloons under everyone's two arms. If anyone's balloons pop, he/she is out.
  2. Have one designated person from each team try to make somebody on the opposite let go. Once someone lets go, he/she cannot come back.
  3. Have one ball thrown back and forth between teams. Throwers must call out a name, throw the ball to that person, and the catcher may let go to catch the ball and throw again. He/she may re-join the game.
