You can play the game in the city or in the country. You can play almost anywhere as long as there is room to run. All you need is at least three players. The game is called “tag (捉人游戏)”.
Anyone can play tag, including children under 5 years old, though sometimes they have difficulty understanding and following the rules.
In the game, one player is “it”. The players decide the boundaries. For example, any area out of the yard might be out of the boundary.
The player who is “it” closes her eyes and counts to 20 while the others run away. When the player who is “it” opens her eyes, she must chase (追) and touch one of the other players. The player touched by “it” will become the new “it”.
Tag is a safe game to play. But still, you’d better follow these rules:
1. Don’t play tag in the street or parking lots.
2. It is safer to play tag on a soft surface, such as grass, sand.
3. Be sure to wear shoes that are suitable for running.
4. Play tag on the ground. Climbing trees or stairs should not be part of game.
5. Don’t “tag” other players with sticks or other objects.
6. Be careful about playing tag around animals, especially dogs. Remember, dogs have an instincts (直觉) to chase and catch anything that runs. Don’t play tag around a dog you don’t know.
No matter where and how you play, tag is a game that will bring you hours of run—lots of exercise!
