Tanzania
Game - Fire On The Mountain
Play with any number of players and a leader. Players lie on their backs
and choose a key word that is their signal to jump quickly to their feet.
The leader begins by calling, "Fire on the Mountain!" and all the players
shout, "Fire!" but remain on their backs. The leader continues to call,
"Fire on the ....", changing the location with each call, and the players
shout back "Fire!". At anytime and in any part of the sentence, the leader
can call the key word and everyone jumps up. As children in Tanzania play
it, the last person up is eliminated and the game continues until one winner
is left, but you can simply have the last person up each time replace the
leader.
