It's also a great playground game or gym game on a rainy day.

Kids will need good balance in this fun game where you stand as still as you can.

4 or more players
Ages 3 and up

This is one of the children's classic games that's been around for ages.

Teenagers, as well as preschoolers, find this game a great source of exercise and fun.

To start the game, one player is chosen as being "it".

This is the person who does the chasing and runs after other kids trying to tag them.

"It" closes his eyes, counts to ten, as the other players scatter away from him.

Once he's done counting, he opens his eyes and the fun begins!

"It" runs towards the other players, trying to touch them.

When he does, that player is "frozen" and has to stand completely still. She cannot run anymore.

She can be unfrozen when another player comes up and tags her. Then she can begin running.

The chaser wins the round when he has frozen all the other players.

However, he needs to keep an eye on the players who aren't frozen, as they can "unfreeze" other players.

So the game can go on for a while, especially if there is a larger group of kids playing!

You can set a time limit to avoid the game going on for a long period of time.
