THREE FEET

TO PLAY THREE FEET, ONE PERSON IS IT WHO TELLS OTHERS TO
GO ONE, TWO, OR THREE FEET. AFTER GOING THAT FAR THE OTHERS HAVE
TO RUN TO OTHER SIDE OF STREET WITHOUT BEING TAGGED. AT ANYTIME
"IT" MAY CHALLENGE OTHERS AND IF THEY HAVE MOVED OUT MORE THAN
PERMITTED ONE, TWO OR THREE FEET, THEY ARE IT. AFTER ALL ARE
CAUGHT, THE ONE WHO WAS CAUGHT FIRST IS IT FOR THE NEXT GAME.
