Number of People: 10 or more
Materials: Pliable rubber trashcan, 50 gallon plastic drum, or large inflatable object
Description: Participants form a circle holding hands around a large inflatable object or plastic 50 gallon drum. The object is to avoid touching the barrel or being pulled/pushed into it. A participant is "out" if they touch the barrel or if they break their handhold. This should be done with an active group since it can be pretty rough. As soon as the activity begins the group finds a direction and starts sacrificing members to the barrel. We play this with our high adventure guys and they can't get enough. Barrel Tag is meant to played on a soft surface and your center object should be something a participant can land on with out injury.
