Choose teams. Each side should have the same number of people, and a fun way to keep things fair is to pull colored slips of paper out of a hat. For example, everyone who draws green is on one side, and everyone with a blue slip is on the other.

Have the teams line up on either side of the rope, and instruct the children to pick up the rope. Each child should be holding some part of the rope.
