_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

A large circle is drawn on the ground or floor in the center of the
play space. At either end of the ground a goal is marked off. One
player, chosen to be stone, sits on the floor in the circle. The other
players stand around outside the circle, taunting the stone by
stepping over into his territory. Suddenly, and the more unexpectedly
the better, the stone rises and runs for the other players, who are
only safe from tagging when behind one of the goals. Any one so tagged
becomes a stone and joins the first stone in sitting near the center
of the circle. They also join him in chasing the other players
whenever he gives the signal. This continues until all the players
have been tagged.
