Decide who will be "it" in this game by playing eenie-meanie-miney-moe or one potato two potato. Another way is to have each kid guess a number between one and one hundred and whoever comes closest is it.

Mark out a jail area. Count to twenty if you are "it" in the jail while everyone else hides.

Tips & Warnings
In another variation of this game, other players can sneak to the jail and free a caught person by touching them. If they are caught however, they will join their teammate in the jail.
If you have a lot of kids playing this game, you can have more than one "it." Preferably, there should be no more than two people who are it.
