How to play

Mark a square of about ten big steps on each side. Make two teams.
The defending team sends three or four runners into the square.
The chasing team sends one chaser, who must hop on one foot the whole time.
A runner who is tagged, or who steps outside the square, is out.
If the chaser puts the other foot down, the chaser is out and the next chaser hops in.
When the time is up, usually five minutes, count the runners tagged. The teams change roles. The team with more tags wins.

Tips and variations

It is a great workout for balance. Let chasers change the hopping foot only between turns.
