A
game originating in South West Missouri. Ninja is played on a jungle gym of moderate size (depending on the amount of
people playing) and one person is "it", goes to the tallest slide, closes there eyes, and then counts to ten.
The ninjas, or other players, have to scramble around the jungle gym trying to avoid their blind companion without getting on the woodchips.
Should a ninja get on the woodchips in order to avoid the "it" person, they are safe as
long as the "it" person does not call "WOODCHIPS!"
A ninja caught on woodchips is now "it"
and the
game begins again.
Should a ninja be tagged, he is now "it" and the
game begins again.
