Each team takes turns calling some one over (Red Rover, Red Rover, send XX right over). The person called over runs and tries to break through the line by breaking two hands apart. If they succeed, they steal a person from the opposing team, if they fail they join the opposing line. This continues until one line completely absorbs the other line. Tag: One person is it and runs around trying to tag (touch) another person so they become it. There is only one person «it» at a time. Freeze Tag: One (or two) person is it and runs around trying to tag (touch) the others. As they tag people, those people become «frozen» and cannot move. A «frozen» person can be freed if tagged by a non- it person. The game is over when all are frozen. Variation: Toilet tag- instead of frozen, the people tagged become «toilets» and can be freed by a non-it person pretending to use them as a toilet and «flushing». Hide and seek: One person is it. The «it» person closes their eyes and counts to a predetermined number. All other participants hide. Once the «it» person is done counting, they proceed to look for people hiding. Rules are determined prior to start and may include: 1. People may or may not re-hide at their own risk after the «it» per- son begins to look for people. 2. A person must be tagged in order to be out or may just need to be found without tagging.

When he manages to catch someone, that person becomes the new «it». British Bulldogs- There is a field with two safe spaces at each end. One person starts of as it. Everyone else has to run from one safe space to the other without being caught. If they are caught they also become it. The game continues till everyone is it. Sharky- the same as tig, except instead of only one person being it at a time, everyone who is caught becomes it together. The game conti- nues till everyone is it. Hill Tig- the same as tig, except on a hill. Toilet Tig- Like in normal tig, one person is it. However the people that he catches have to stand in one place with their arm sticking out. They can’t move again until someone «flushes» them by pulling their arm down. Chain Tig- The people who are it all stand in a line holding hands. They have to work together to catch people. If someone is caught, they also become it and have to join the line. Octupus Tig- The same as British Bulldogs, except the people who are caught have to stand in one place. They then wave their arms about trying to catch people, which is where the «Octopus» part comes in (they look like octopuses waving their tentacles about). What’s the Time, Mister Wolf?- One person is «the wolf» and stands at the end of a strip of land. The rest of the players stand at the other side. They call out «what’s the time Mr Wolf?» and the wolf will then call out a time (one o’clock, two o’clock, etc.) The players walk forward a number of steps which depends on the time the wolf called out (e.g. if the wolf called out «nine o’clock» the players would walk forward nine steps). Once the players get close enough, the wolf will call out «Dinner time!» and chase the players back to the start. Whoever he catches becomes the wolf for the next game. (N.B.- this game is usual- ly played by younger children.) «It» usually, but it de- pends on the game being played. There is no name for them. Den. «Ip skip, sky blue, all out but you.» «Ibble obble, black bubble, ibble obble out.» «Coconut, coconut, coconut, crack.» «Mickey Mouse is in his house pulling down his trousers. What colour are his pants?» 33 2014- 03-09 2014- 03-09 ‘Lock ups’/’Cops and robbers’, ‘Bulldog’, ‘Grandma’s footsteps’, ‘Stuck in the mud’, ‘Manhunt’ They are the ones who are ‘up’. As in, ‘who wants to be up this time?’ meaning who wants to be a chaser. Don’t think they had any given name Home No 37 2014- 03-09 2014- 03-09 Tag and hide-and-seek are the two that seem to fit your question/ example. The active player is «it.» At least in the Northeast US. «Players» Base Eeny, meeny, miny, moe 2/6 20 2014- 03-09 2014- 03-09 Fangermandl (tag). One person tries to catch everybody else. Once they manage to touch someone, that person must now catch someone else. Versteinern (statues?). One person must try to touch every other player. Whoever gets touched must stop moving until somebody manages to crawl between their legs. Verstecken (hide and seek). One person covers their eyes and counts to an agreed-upon number while everybody else hides. Once the person starts searching you can’t change your hiding spot anymore. any game that involves a ball can be made up on the spot. Wer hat Angst vor’m Schwarzen Mann? You need two walls and a lot of space in the middle. One person is the...well, the black man. He stands against one wall, everybody else against the other one. You say a little chant, then run at each other as fast as you can, trying to get to the opposite wall without getting touched by the black man. If he catches you you’re now on his team. Next round has everyone who got caught trying to catch the rest. Der Fuchs geht um. Everybody stands in a circle facing the middle. The ‘fox’ walks around them and randomly stuffs his ‘tail’ (rope, hat, whatever) down somebody’s back pocket. That person must chase the fox once around the circle and catch him before he manages to take their spot. If he doesn’t catch him, he’s now the fox. German/Bavarian. There is no generic word for the chaser. It all depends on the game. If it specifi- cally involves an animal/ police officer/bad guy/ whatever, that’s what you call them, otherwise you don’t call them anything. Nothing unless the game specifically calls for them to be playing a certain role. Gildi Ene, meme, miste, Es rappelt in ther Kiste Ene, mene muh/meck Und raus bist du/du bist weg.

Jumprope of course :) and we usd to play fatasy games (winx, narnia) ‘jij bent hem’ You are him! or ‘hij bent ‘em’ mesn the same but it is shorter to say :) we dont really have names for them. Some- times they were cats... And when you were tagges usually a toilet. sometimes we used trees, but you could only touch them for a certain amount of seconds. We just said «Im free!» or something. but when the person who had to tag was waiting for you till the time was running out, we called that a «wachtkoe» guadrcow. No idea why. iene miene mutte and ietwietwaait is eerlijk weg and something with a mother who got a child or something.. But usaly you had to duck an the one who touched the ground last was it. 1/6 Id Start Date Sub- mit Date What outdoor games do you know? Can you tell me their rules? How do you call the player(s) that chase(s) the others? How do you call the players that are being chased? How do you call the safe zone? Do you know any coun- ting-out rhymes? 17 2014- 03-09 2014- 03-09 eec- . It not really a specific name for them Base Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by its toe. If he hollers, let him go. Eeny meeny miny moe. My mother said to pick the very best one and you are it. 18 2014- 03-09 2014- 03-09 Police Station One person is the «Warden» and they pick the «criminal» with a counting song. The criminal then says «Who me?» then runs away. The Warden also picks some «cops» to chase after the criminal. If the criminal reaches safe haven before anyone catches him/her, then he/ she picks an accomplice (one of the cops) But if the criminal is caught, then she/he goes to «jail» The game is over when everyone is in jail or an accomplice. Cops Robbers/Criminals Safe- haven If you don’t know your rights, then you better learn it. The court house called and they reached a verdict. You better not run, unless like a snail. But they said guilty and your going to jail.
