Resources
Large open space and plenty of children.
Step by step
* Take the children to a large, open space, indoors or outdoors.
* Set up boundaries to define the area the children can play within.
* One person is chosen to be 'sticky toffee' and has to chase after the others.
* If someone is caught, they become part of the sticky toffee and have to hold hands with the first person.
* The piece of sticky toffee gets longer and longer as more people get caught.
* As an alternative, the sticky toffee can split into two once four people have joined together.
