The girls assemble in the center of the gym. The commands and actions are
as follows:
Captain's Coming - all line up, stand at attention and salute.
Bow - run to the 'front' of the gym.
Stern - run to the 'back' of the gym.
Port - facing the 'front' of the gym, port is the left wall. Run to port.
Starboard - facing the 'front' of the gym, starboard is the right wall. Run
to starboard.
Man overboard - lie on back and swim
Submarines - lie on back and stick on leg straight up. (for the periscope)
Man the Lifeboats - find a partner, sit together, and row!
Torpedoes - lie on tummy, with hands together over head to give a stream
lined look.
One person (usually a leader) does the calling and the girls rush around
performing the actions, which are mixed up and used more than once. Both my
Brownies and my Guides loved this game. Once everyone knows the rules it is
now problem to join in as you go.
