During outdoor time, draw two parallel lines on the ground about 20 feet apart. One child will be “it” and stands in the space between these lines. The rest of the class stands on one of the lines. When “it” says “¡Araña!” (“Spider!”) the rest of the children cross to the other line. If “it” touches someone, the touched player and “it” link hands and become a chain (the spider). When the chain is formed, only the children on each end can touch the players that run from one line to the other. The game ends when everybody has been touched. The first person to be touched by “it” is the new “it.”
