The rules
How to play
1
Use a counting rhyme or rock-paper-scissors to pick who is 'it' (el que la lleva).
2
That child chases the others across an agreed play area and tries to touch any player.
3
The moment a player is touched they immediately become 'it' and must give chase, no freezing, no delay.
4
A player cannot tag back the person who just tagged them until they have tagged someone else first.
Keep it fair
No tagbacks is the single rule that prevents the same two kids chasing each other forever, announce it clearly before the game starts.
