WARM UP
The player with the ball has to touch the back of the last player of the row.
Players in the row have to cling to the person in front of them by the jersey forming a worm
"worm" can move but cannot be broken
If the player with the ball touches the last person in the row, he becames himself the last and the person ahead the worm takes the ball
VARIATION
This game can be also played by two rows or worms, so the player ahead the row has to try to touch the back of the last player of the opposite row
