Steal the Bacon

The entire point of this game is to get the “Bacon” back to your team’s side without getting tagged.

The “Bacon” can be anything…

• Shoe
• Dodgeball
• Homebase
• Pinnie
• Goalie glove
• Rugby ball
• Football 
• ANYTHING….

How to Play

Create 2 teams and place the “Bacon” in the middle of the space, on each team you need to number the players 1-10 (or however many you have). Line them up across the space from one another and the “Bacon” in a hula-hoop in the dead center. 

The leader then calls out a number and a person from each team with that number runs out and tries to get the bacon before the other person. They need to take that “Bacon” back to their team as fast as they can without getting tagged. Once tagged you drop the “Bacon”, and it returns to the middle for the next round. 

You cannot touch the other player until one of you has touched the bacon, keep it fair people. 

If one player gets the “Bacon” back to their side of the field without getting tagged the team gets a point. First team to 10 points wins. (Or 5 or 20, whatever works for your group), or all the numbers have had a turn. 

The Mods

• The Leader can call more than one number, in which case several players from each side participate.
• In some games, players may tag any player on the opposing team, in others, a player may only tag the player on the other team that they share a number with.
• in some games, points are scored by carrying it to the other team’s side or either team’s side
• Once tagged the “bacon” must be dropped. Then the other team’s player can pick it up and run, only stopping when they get to the other side or are tagged. 
• Remove the “Bacon” and use Dodgeballs, the first person to hit the other player/players gets them out. Last person standing wins. 
• Use this as a hockey drill, sticks, one puck and a net. First player to score a goal, gets the point.
