How to do it

  1. The group of children stands in a circle.
  2. One child runs around the outside, taps a child in the circle on the back after a while and calls “Follow me!” or “Run away!”.
  3. On “Follow me”, the tapped child runs after them. On “Run away”, the tapped child runs in the opposite direction.
  4. The aim is to reach the empty gap in the circle first. Whoever takes the gap stays there.
  5. The slower child keeps running around the outside and taps another child.
