===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.
* To the ship!: Players run to the right.
* To the shore!: Players run to the left.
* Mermaid!: each player individually thrust out right hip, places right hand on that hip, takes left hand and 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 one knee and the other puts a hand on their shoulder and pretends to search for someone.
* Sailors: Run to the right.
* Hit the deck- fall to the floor on your stomach
