How to Play

All players except two stand in a circle facing in, arranged in pairs, each pair holding hands. The odd pair is 'It'. 'It' runs around the circle and tags the joined hands of one of the pairs in the circle. 'It' immediately turns around and runs around the circle in the opposite direction. The pair tagged runs around the circle in the direction opposite to that taken by 'It'. The pair reaching the vacant space first wins. The other pair becomes it and continues the game.
