One person is 'in'. The children run from a designated point to another, whilst 'in' tries to tip/catch them. The tipped/caught/tagged children then also become 'in'. The game finishes when there is only one person left who hasn't been tipped/caught/tagged.
NB - These boys came to me to explain this game. They weren't playing it, as it was too warm and there weren't enough kids who wanted to play it. A seasonal game also called 'Tips' or 'Chase'
