_5 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

One player is chosen to be It. He calls out the name of another
player, to whom he at once gives chase. A third player at any point in
the chase may run between the one who is It and the one whom he is
chasing, whereupon this third player becomes the object of the chase
instead of the second. At any time a fourth player may run between
this player and the chaser, diverting the chase to himself, and so on
indefinitely. In other words, whenever a player crosses between the
one who is It and the one being chased, the latter is at once relieved
of the chase and ceases to be a fugitive. Whenever the chaser tags a
player, that player becomes It. Considerable sport may be added to the
game by the free players trying to impede the chaser and so help the
runner
getting in the way of the former without crossing between the
two, or any other hindering tactics.
