The rules
How to play
1
The crocodile stands mid-space; everyone else lines up on one bank and chants, 'Please Mr Crocodile, may we cross the river?' The crocodile answers, 'Only if you're wearing… blue!' Anyone wearing blue walks across safely; everyone else must dash while the crocodile tries to tag them.
2
The first player tagged becomes the new crocodile.
Keep it fair
The crocodile must call something at least one player is actually wearing, agree that an impossible colour means a free walk for everyone.
