TWO DEEP

TYPE: Active

Play standing in a circle

Two players are chosen: one to be the chaser, one to be the runner.  The chaser runs around the circle, trying to tag the runner.  When he does so, the runner becomes the chaser and vice versa.  But the runner can get someone else to run in his stead by stepping in front of any player standing in the circle.  Then that player becomes the new runner.

Variation:  Three deep--have two concentric circles instead of one.
