    Steps.
    Any number of boys can play this game. One boy is picked as the stepcaller. All the other boys are lined up against a house at one side of the road. He calls each boy by his correct name. He will tell him whether to take a giant step or a baby step. He will tell whether to take half a giant step or to take six baby steps or two giant steps or any number at all he likes. The boy who first reaches the stepcaller will be the stepcaller the next time.
