FROZEN TAG

ONE PERSON IS CHOSEN TO BE "IT." ALL THE OTHERS RUN
WHILE "IT" ATTEMPTS TO TAG THEM. THE PERSON WHO IS
TAGGED MUST REMAIN IN THE POSITION IN WHICH HE WAS IN
WHEN HE WAS TAGGED. IN THIS MANNER THE PLAYER IS
CONSIDERED FROZEN AND CANNOT MOVE. HE IS FREED ONLY
IF HIS FREE TEAMMATES TAG HIM. THE GAME ENDS WHEN
ALL EXCEPT "IT" ARE FROZEN AT THE SAME TIME.
