How to Play Crack the Whip on Ice Skates

Last Updated: September 11, 2019

Many people know that "Crack the Whip" is a chain-linking game. But when it comes to playing the game, it seems like no one know how to play it. Although there are 2 main types of "Crack the Whip", this article will deal in those that support the ice hockey formatted "Crack the Whip".

Steps

1
Grab a few of your friends.
2
Visit an ice rink with most of these friends.
3
Skate around the rink casually. Continue to skate as you complete the next task.
4
Hold out your arm and skate nearby someone who knows how to skate well.
5
Grab someone else's arm and encourage them to repeat this. Each person should be told to continue the chain.
6
Try to build more momentum and speed as you "whip" around in a giant circle, while trying not to "fling" someone into a circular pattern that connects the last person to the chain to the very first person in the chain's other hand/backward.
7
Keep twirling around until someone in the chain breaks the chain and/or until the chain gets tired of skating, thereby achieving a goal and winner. Even you, the person who started the chain, can break the chain thereby declaring another person in the chain the winner.
