STATUE

ONE PLAYER IS "IT." HE SPINS A PLAYER AROUND BY THE
ARM. WHEN THE PLAYER STOPS HE MUST "FREEZE" IN ONE
POSITION LIKE A STATUE. "IT" THEN CONTINUED TO
THE OTHER PLAYERS SPINNING EACH IN TURN. ANY
PLAYER WHO WAS A "STATUE" COULD MOVE TO ANOTHER
POSITION IF HE COULD DO IT WITHOUT "IT" SEEING HIM.
IF HE WAS SEEN MOVING, HE WAS "IT."
