How to play
Select two people from the group, one to be the caller and one to be the tipper. Everyone must line up along one side of the oval. The caller yells 'WORM RUSH', and everyone must run across the oval while the tipper tries to tip as many people as they can.
When someone is tipped, they must hold hands with the tipper. As more people are tipped and join the line, one long worm will form. Only the people at either end of the worm can tip people. No one is permitted to run through the worm.
The last runner remaining is the winner and may be either the caller or the tipper in the next round.
