This is a fun version of tag which has one basic rule. The only way the children can be safe from "it" is to stop in place (before being tagged) and name something or say something. For example: with any show/movie/cartoon theme, the children are safe while stopped and singing the theme song. (It must then turn his attention to another child.) With animal themes, the child might have to stop and make the animal's sound (barking, meowing, roaring, etc.) to be safe. For older children, you might have them stop and name a character or scene from the show/movie/cartoon/book, or name an item from the sport/activity. They then have until the count of 10 to be safe, then must begin running again. It the theme topic has several familiar songs (such as Barney, Blue's Clues, many movies) the children may stop and sing any song from the show/movie/cartoon/book.
