Red Rover: Two teams stand in lines connected by holding hands
opposite from each other. 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.

Tig- one person is «it» and he has to chase everyone else. 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?»

‘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

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.

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.

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.
