RED ROVER Two teams of two lines of players play this game ,with hands linking together. The game starts when  the first team calls a player out,  saying a line like "Red rover, red rover, send right over“. The goal for  the person  is to run to the other line and break the opposite team's chain. If the player fails to break  the chain, they join this team. If the player breaks the chain, they may select either of the two "links",  and take them to join the own team. Then his team calls out "Red rover" for a player on the opposite  team, and game continues.
