Are you ready for an exciting game round? Let's play: "Fisher, Fisher, how deep is the water"! One player is chosen as the fisherman and the others are the fish. Here you will find a detailed game description. Play with a group, your friends, or your family and have lots of fun! Let's go!

How it works

Choose one player to be the fisherman. The others stand a few meters apart. The group shouts: "Fisher, Fisher, how deep is the water?" The fisherman responds with any number representing the depth of the water. For example: "10 meters!"
Then the group asks: "How do we get across?" Now it gets fun: The fisherman gives a movement style that all players should use to get to the other side. For example: "Run!" or "Jump!" or "Walk backwards!".
Now it's time to go! All players must get to the other side as quickly as possible using the specified movement style, without getting caught by the fisherman. The fisherman tries to catch as many players as possible by touching them. Caught players become fishermen themselves.
But watch out! The fisherman cannot move backwards. This means that once a player has passed him, they cannot be caught anymore. If only one player is left who hasn’t been caught, that player becomes the new fisherman. Then the game starts over!
