7.  GYMBUS SHARKS & MONKEYS

This game has been specifically designed for the GymBus, but could also work on playground equipment. The birthday child is the “Shark” everyone else is a “Monkey”. The “Sharks” can only catch the “Monkeys” if they are touching the ground. The “Monkeys” have to climb from ladders to ropes to monkey bars and from one level to the other. If they touch the ground they run the risk of being caught. Once caught they become a “Shark”. When there is only two Monkeys left everyone swaps roles and the game starts again.
