Select a volunteer from the group. Divide the remainder into two teams.
Each team then sits on the ground back to back.
The volunteer is the "flipper" and is given a coin and sits at one end of the teams.
Set a water bottle on the other side of the teams, about 15 feet from the group.
When the activity leader says "Go!" the flipper flips the coin in the air, catch it, and slaps it on their other hand (I'm sure you've all flipped a coin).
When the flipper slaps the coin onto their hand, he/she shows the players in the first position. The person that is the first in line (next to the flipper) squeezes the hand of the person next, who passes the "squeeze" to the next person, who continues to pass it down the line. Note: the flipper does not tell the group at large if the coin was "heads" or "tails."
When the squeeze reaches the person on the opposite end of a particular team, that person (who is closest to the water bottle) tries to be the first to pick up the water bottle between the two teams.
Then when your team is the first to pick up the bottle, that runner advances to the front (by the coin flipper) and everyone rotates one position. The first team to rotate all players wins.
If the flip results in tails no one should move, however, most teams squeeze prematurely. If a team squeezes on a tail, then they rotate backwards one player.
