Object of the Game: Keep the circle from falling.
Items Needed: The more people the better.
Preparation: Find a large room.

Directions: This works best with a large group of people that are roughly the same size. (All children or all adults.) Everyone stands in a tight circle front to back. Scoot in close so the circle is very tight. Everyone sits on the lap of the person behind them. This must be done all at once. If the circle stays intact you can try walking in unison. Have one person call out "right" or "left" so the circle moves together.

Example: If 20 people are playing have them make a circle with each person facing the back of the person in front of them. Make sure the circle is tight with little space between each person. When everyone's ready say, "everyone sit" so that everyone sits on the lap of the person behind them at the same time to form a connected circle. Try walking in this position. It'll keep you laughing! (Example added by Rachel Woods.)

Note: This is a fun activity for girl's camp.
