All the players line up on one end zone of a field. Five preselected players are in the middle and they are the "bulldogs". Those 5 yell out "1-2-3 British Bulldog!"

At that point all of the players run from one side of the field to the other. The bulldogs are trying to "capture" the players before they get to the other side.

In order to capture a player, the bulldogs must lift the player off the ground completely and while they are in the air say "1-2-3 British Bulldog". Bulldogs may team up in order to lift a player off the ground. If a player is captured, they then become bulldogs.

The last player or last few players to not get captured are declared the winners.
