Equipment
You don't need any equipment.
Procedure
Two groups compete each other. Both are standing in a line, facing the members of the other group. The distance of the two lines should be two or three meters. One group are the crabs, the other the crows.
During each round, the trainer names one of the animals. The called group has to try and tag the members of the other group. For instance, when the trainer calls "crow", the crows have to tag the crabs. The group can run to safety towards their end of the playing field; they are safe once they reach the wall (or marker, tree, etc.) there. Any player correctly tagged has to switch groups.
You can also add a a third command (like: "calf"). When it is expressed, no player may move. Any player moving has to switch groups as well.
