ery one stands while he counts
ten. Then the sheep and shepherd scatter for the fold, and if tagged
before they reach it the first becomes wolf for the next game.
WOOD TAG
In this class are also "iron tag," "stone tag," and "tree tag." They
are all simply the game of tag with the additional rule that when a
player is in contact with iron, stone, trees, wood, and so on he is
safe from being tagged by the one who is "it." The game of "squat tag"
is similar, except that to be safe the one pursued must squat quickly
on the ground before "it" catches him. In cross tag, "it" must select
a victim and continue to run after him until some one runs ahead and
crosses his path, when "it," who may be breathless by this time, must
abandon his victim for a fresh one, who may soon be relieved and so on
until some one is tagged, or "it" is exhausted.
