  2. Games - Cross Tig

    Share Share Post
    Any number of children can play this game. Whoever "has" the tig begins to chase the others. If some players runs between the "chaser" and the one who is being chased, the player who ran across is chased in turn, so everyone gets a chance of being chased until someone is caught.
