All the children lie on their backs. They choose any word or name to be the "key word." When the leader calls out the key word, all the children have to stand up quickly. The game starts when the leader shouts, "Fire on the Mountain!" All the children answer "Fire!" but do not jump up. The leader shouts, "Fire on the river." Again the children answer "Fire!" but do not jump up. This goes on. Each time the leader says "Fire on the..." he changes the last word of the phrase. He tries to think of many different places for the fire. The leader can shout the key word at any time, between the phrases or in the middle of them. When he does, the child who jumps up last is out of the game. The child who stays in the game the longest is the winner.
