Equipment
No equipment is required to play the game.
Procedure
The players are sitting (or standing) in a circle, one player ("A") is in the middle of the circle. Another player ("B") is selected to start the radio transmission. He selects a third player ("C") and tries to radio with him. To do so, he holds his hands like antennas next to his head and says:
B calling C
Of course, he uses the correct names of both himself and the person he calls. Now, A has to touch player C before C can forward the transmission to yet another player ("D"):
C calling D
and so forth. The players shouldn't make it too easy for A to touch the called player; for instance, the caller should NOT look in the direction of the called person.
If A can handle to touch the called player before he can complete to forward the call, those two players change positions.
