The rules
How to play
1
One player is the Heks (witch) who counts to 10 while runners scatter.
2
The witch then chases and tags players; anyone tagged must freeze in place with arms and legs spread wide like a starfish.
3
Frozen players call out to free teammates.
4
Any unfrozen player can unfreeze a frozen teammate by touching them.
5
The witch wins when all players are frozen.
6
If the witch cannot freeze everyone within an agreed time (e.g. 5 minutes), the runners win.
Keep it fair
The witch should call out 'frozen!' clearly when tagging so there is no dispute about whether contact was made.
