  • When they are ready, they stand facing Team 1.
  • Team 1 calls out, "Where do you come from?" and takes a few steps forward.
  • Team 2 calls out, "We come from [eg. America]!" and takes a few steps forward.
  • Team 1 calls out, "What do you do there?" and takes a few steps forward, until they are about 1 -2 metres from Team 2.
  • Team 2 says, "Something starting with [eg. B]" and mimes the action that the chose.
  • Team 1 must guess the action that they are miming.
  • If they guess correctly, they must chase members of Team 2 and try and catch them before they are behind their home line.
  • Any players that they tag must join Team 1.
  • The roles of the teams now swap.
  • The game ends if one team captures all the players from the other team.
