- Any number of players can play this game.
First of all a person is chosen to be "Tig" as follows
"Three little gypsies lived in a tent"
"They had no money to pay the rent".
"The rent man came and put them out"
"Now little gypsies you are out.Then "Tig" counts to ten to give the players time to get some where off the ground because they cannot be tigged then.
The players must move from place to place to give "Tig" a chance to tig them. The game goes on like this until a person is tigged. The person who is tigged must take "Tigs" place.- Collector
