1.
Arm
Wrestling: This is
basically the same as any form of arm wrestling. The competitors
lie on their stomachs facing each other with their right or left
arms ready to wrestle. They hook the fingers of their free hands
together between the elbows of the competing arms. The free arms
remain flat on the mat while the competing hands grip each other
around the base of each others thumbs. The wrestlers then begin
arm wrestling trying to force the back of their opponents hand to
touch their other arm which is hooked to their opponents free arm
and stationery on the mat. The winner is the wrestlers who force
his opponents hand to touch his free arm.

Clear
the Fort: The class
or team is divided into two teams and each team is placed at
opposite edges of the mat. The wrestlers on one team are told to
construct a secure, impregnable fort out of their bodies by
grabbing, hooking, and holding their bodies tightly together. On a
signal the other team sprints across the mat and attempts to
dismantle the fort by pulling bodies from it and dragging them
back to their edge of the mat. Once a wrestler has been dragged
across the mat he cannot go back to this fort. This continues
until the fort has been completely dismantled, and all wrestlers
dragged to the other edge. The other team then makes a fort and
tries to hold their for intact longer than their opponents did.
The winning team is the tam which holds their fort intact the
