===Set Up===
===Directions===
Assign one person to be the "Captain." The role of the Captain is call out the actions and dismiss the players who don't do the actions quick enough or who break from character. Once the captain calls an action, each player has 3-4 seconds to start performing the action. If they don't find a group fast enough or perform the right action, they are out of the game.
Here is an explanation of each of the actions...
* Captain's Coming!: Everyone stands at "attention" (in a salute), and they can’t move from this position until the caller says, "At Ease!" If they laugh or break from the attention, they are dismissed. * StarboardTo the ship!: Players run to the right.* PortTo the shore!: Players run to the left.* Lighthouse: Two players partner up. Put their arms up (for an added bonus be sure to point the right direction the first few times and hands against each other, and rotate in a circle making then begin to point the noise “beep beep beep beep” (or whatever opposite occasionally. You will be surprised how many go the way you think a light house would sound like!point instead of the right direction)* Man Overboard!: Three Players group up. Two hold hands, forming One person drops to one knee the side of the shipother stands behind them, puts a hand on their shoulder. One player leans “over Both scan the rail” (ocean for the overboard man* Crows Nest!: Three players stand backs to each other two’s arms) and pretends lock arms at the elbows to look out for form the lost shipmatecrows nest.* Life BoatMess Table!: Four players sit on ground squat in a line circle like sitting at table and pretend to row a boateat like they haven't eaten in days.Tell them to make really loud eating sounds like "YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!"* Chow TimeWalk the Plank!: Five players sit people stand in a circle single file row hands on the shoulders of person in front of them* Mermaid!: each player individually thrust out right hip, places right hand on that hip, takes left hand and pretend to eat.makes a big exaggerated wave and yells out "howdy sailor!" (this one is basically for your own entertainment as it looks hilarious and it gets the participants laughing)
===Alternatives===**Another version of this is called "[[Ships and Sailors"]].The rules are mostly the same except it often uses some different group names and such.:
* Captain's Coming!: the same as above.
* Man Overboard: 2 players. One person gets down on all fours one knee and the other puts on foot a hand on their back shoulder and pretends to search for someone.
* Bunk Beds: 2 players. One person lays back down on the ground and holds up their arms. Second person puts their head by the other persons feet and uses their hands to support themselves. The first person grabs their legs and holds them up.
* 3 men rowing: 3 players. Get in a line and pretend to row a boat while singing "row row row your boat".
* Sailors: Run to the right.
* Hit the deck- fall to the floor on your stomach
