o   Each kid will be knighted “Sir” or crowned “Lady”

·         Dragon Tail Tag

o   Kids must form a line. Kids put their hands on the hips of the kid in front of them forming one long dragon. The kid in the front is the head of the dragon and the kid at the back is its tail. The head tries to catch the tail and the tail end tries not to be caught. If the head catches the tail, the head links onto the tail and the next kid in line becomes the new head of the dragon. Play continues until all kids have had a chance to be the head and the tail of the dragon.
