The Queen's Stolen Steps
This game stimulates children's wish about getting the leader of the group, but most of all, keeping this position.

Can participate 8-14 children. They choose a queen counting. She stays turned with her face to a wall or a tree. At about twenty meters somebody draws a line on the ground. The players will start from this place to the place where the queen is. They must do "stolen steps", that is to go towards the queen only when she is turned back. If the queen catches any player moving when she turns to them, these are resent to the departure place. Children must be skilful, must try to arrive unnoticed to the queen's place, to touch her and then to take her place.

On the other hand, the queen must try to keep her position catching her adversaries in motion. She has to stay turned (with her face to the tree or to the wall) for longer or shorter periods of time.
