Returning Friends From Holidays

Divide the players into two groups. Line up the groups on opposite sides of a play area behind a given line. Establish a safety zone. The group decides on some action to represent in a pantomime. Example : deep sea fishing with long poles. When the group has decided what the pantomime will be, they say to the other group : "My friend has returned from holidays". The other group asks :"What did he/she do during the holidays?" The first group then shows the pantomime. If someone from the other group guesses correctly, the entire group starts running to catch as many of the first group as possible before they reach the safety zone. The captives are taken on their side. Once all are on the same side, it is time for a holiday!
