Sharks & Minnows

How To Play

Typically one or two players (though this number may be higher in large spaces) are selected to be the "sharks".

The sharks stand in the middle of the play area.

All remaining players “minnows" stand at one end of the area (home). The aim of the game is to run from one end of the field of play to the other, without being caught by the sharks. When a player is caught, they become sharks themselves.

The winner is the last player or players 'free'.
