The Game

One player is chosen as the tagger by counting-out. To make the game more fun, a large circle is drawn, and the game is played inside this circle. The tagger chases the other players. The chased players cannot step outside the circle, which is the play area.

If a player steps outside the circle, that player becomes the new tagger. While chasing, if the tagger touches any player, they shout “Tag!” or “You’re Tagger!” and that player becomes the new tagger. The game continues in this cycle.
