How can we play together?

My six and eight year olds and their friends have recently really been into the game called red rover, they really want to play a team that is all of them and a team that is us (each of the kids parents) *** before anyone says it, we are well aware of how the traditional game is played and we are willing to do what it takes to play this on a even playing field with the kiddos***

My question is how do we play?Obviously we’re going to be gentle I can’t stress that enough., but we just have a questions

Us parents are most likely just going to be controlling the entire outcome while playing the game, I don’t think the kids team will be very effective, and thinking we’ll just have to pretend. Just to give you an idea, even if a parent was just standing next to the kids. All it would take is the gentlest of nudges to break their link,, it is not only a strength thing, but a weight factor, and so with that in mind how can we play? Is there anyway the kids will legit be able to break our link? Is there a way that the grown-ups legitimately couldn’t break their link? Is there anyway that the children can control the outcome of the game also instead of us faking and pretending for the whole game?
