ROUND UP

THIS GAME IS PLAYED BY THREE OR MORE PERSONS. ONE
PERSON IS "IT" AND COUNTS TO A CERTAIN NUMBER WHILE
THE OTHERS RUN AND HIDE. WHEN THROUGH COUNTING, THE
COUNTER RUNS AFTER THE OTHERS AND CATCHES THEM BY
TOUCHING THEM WITH TWO HANDS. WHEN A PERSON IS CAUGHT
HE THEN HELPS CATCH THE OTHERS. EVERYONE THAT GETS
CAUGHT HELPS CATCH THE OTHERS UNTIL EVERYONE IS CAUGHT.

GAME, BUT SOMETIMES THE LAST ONE CAUGHT IS "IT."
