The rules
How to play
1
One player is 'it' and chases all others.
2
The difference from regular tig: a player is completely safe from being tagged as long as they are off the ground, standing on a bench, climbing a wall, sitting on a gate post, or perching on any raised surface.
3
Players cannot stay off the ground indefinitely (agree a time limit of 5, 10 seconds).
4
Anyone tagged while on the ground becomes 'it'.
Keep it fair
Set the time limit clearly before the game ('you can only stay up for five seconds'). Arguing about how long someone has been perched is the main source of conflict.
