The rules
How to play
1
One player starts as 'it'.
2
When they tag someone, that player joins hands with them to form a chain.
3
The chain grows with each tag.
4
Only the two players at the free ends of the chain can make a tag, middle players must stay connected.
5
The last player free wins and becomes the first 'it' next round.
Keep it fair
If the chain breaks during a tag, the tag does not count. Keeping the chain unbroken is part of the challenge, remind the chain to squeeze hands firmly before making a lunge.
