Traditional Greek Games – The Prisoner’s base

The prisoner’s base


Children were divided into two groups and each one chooses the “prisoner’s base”, ie the point (tree column) will defend. The two prisoner’s base should be spaced as far as possible. A child from the first team playing, touching the prisoner’s base and shouts:
– I take prisoner’s base and go
And runs the rival prisoner’s base in order to touch (so overwhelms her). But, immediately, reciting the same words, and starts from the defending team a player for the purpose, or prevent it first to conquer the other prisoner’s base, or touches the first player (so he captures). Then, in succession, the first teammates begin with the same words, to strengthen them and to defeat the guards and release their own (with touch).
Beats the team that seizes the other prisoner’s base.
