SHIPS AND SUBMARINES
YOU HAVE THREE BOYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM OR

FIVE BOYS MUST RUN ACROSS WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT.
IF THEY ARE CAUGHT, YOU HAVE TO SIT ON THE FLOOR; THE

RELEASE THE BELGIUM
EVERYONE HIDES EXCEPT ONE PERSON. WHEN EVERYBODY HAS
HIDDEN, THE ONE PERSON TRIES TO FIND EVERYBODY.
IT IS PLAYED NEAR A FIRE HYDRANT OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. IF SOMEBODY HIDDEN RUNS OUT AND TOUCHES IT
SAYING, "RELEASE THE BELGIUM" BEFORE THE OTHER
PERSON CAN, THE "IT" PLAYER MUST HIDE HIS EYES AGAIN.
