Freeze Tag

Any number of people can play, the more the better. One
person is chosen to say the formula counting-out a rhyme, to
choose the people, who will be out and not have to be it ("It")
means he or she will be the first to chase the rest of the people
playing the game. The object of this game is for the person
that's it to chase and "freeze" one person at a time until all of
them are caught, or frozen. The ones that are free have to
unfreeze, the ones who are frozen. That's to keep the game
going.

Submitter comment: You have to be a fast runner to be able to catch everyone of
the children playing the game, or you will never be able to be
the on being chased by the one that's it. Because the free ones
have to unfreeze everyone is frozen. I didn't like this game
very much, because all the bigger children, had longer legs, and
could catch the smaller children, such as I who never really got
a chance to be the one being it.
