Tug of War = Revolutionary War

9/18/2010

Here are the decisions/actions taken by me to simulate the Revolutionary War with Tug-of-War:
1)  Red, Blue, White teams made up of 10, 8, and 8 kids in each - each group had a different make-up of militia"men"
2)  White team was separate, Red/Blue on opposite sides; Red pulled up a slope more
3)  If Blue wins, they get a prize, but 1 person would not.  White team had to cheer for Blue
4)  1/2 of Red had to go to "yonder" tree; moved white team back to similar "yonder" tree.
5)  1/2 of Red could join once it started. 
6)  If blue could hold for 30 seconds, they would win.  Red team  had to pull it past a far away tree (about 20 ft.)
7)  White team joins on my whistle.
