Divide the youth into two equal teams. Name one of the teams, the crows and the other cranes. Line the two teams up four or five feet apart, facing each other. Flip a coin, and if it comes up heads, call crows. Upon calling crows, the crows must turn in flight with the cranes after them. If any of the cranes make it to the safety zone, they are free. If they are touched, they switch teams.
