To play this game form two teams. Have teams form two lines
facing each other in the center of the room. Designate one team as
the shepherds and one team as the sheep. When the leader calls
"sheep," have the sheep run to tag the shepherds before they can
run to the "safe" wall behind them. If "shepherds" is called, the
shepherds chase the sheep to their safe wall.
Anyone caught must join the opponent's team. The game continues
until all have become shepherds or sheep.
To add excitement, draw out the first sound of the team names like
this "shhhhhe-perds!"
