This is a list of my favourite games as a wee Jack.
What are some of your favourite childhood games?
Hide and Seek
Double Dutch
{Jump In!}
TV Tag
Regular TV Tag
Gather a group of players and decide who is going to be the person who chases everyone else. This person is called "It."
Step 2
Run and try to stay away from the person who is "It." If they get close, yell out the name of a TV show and touch the ground. The player is now safe for 10 seconds and the "It" player needs to leave that player to tag others--no waiting around to tag the person when the 10 seconds are up.
Step 3
Avoid repeating a show you or any other player already mentioned. If a player can't think of a show or repeats the name of a show, the player becomes the new "It."
