On the count of
three the it in each pair must start chasing the runner.
Here's the
catch.
You have to stay in the boundaries and you need to remember that all of the
other its and runners are running around in the same space. Be careful not
to knock into each other. You should try to not touch another player unless that player is your partner for this round.
For a challenge, you might even pair up with other its or runners
and see if you can set up a strategy. If the runner in the pair gets
caught,
then they become the it. Now the person that was it, is the runner and
the
runner is it.
After a few minutes, all running stops
and everybody needs to switch partners.
You can play this for as long as you want and it is
sure to wear you out. Just for fun, keep track of how many times you are
tagged. The person that is tagged the fewest number of times can be the
winner!
Tag is one of the most popular and well know running games. It is still be fun, isn't it?

Here is a super new game. You'll need at least six people (and an
even
number) to play this game along with a big space in which you have set up
boundaries (part of a soccer field or even someone's front yard would
work,
but you have to be sure to have boundaries).
