The rules
How to play
1
One player is the 'cat' (it).
2
They chase the 'mice', trying to tag someone to pass on the role.
3
Any player who lifts both feet off the ground, climbing a wall, bench, stone, tree root, is safe and cannot be tagged.
4
Players must keep moving and may not perch for more than a few seconds (agree a count of 5).
5
When tagged, that player immediately becomes the new cat.
Keep it fair
Set a maximum perch time of 5 seconds before starting so nobody hides indefinitely on a wall.
