Body Guard

_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

A small space is marked off at one end of the ground as a "home" or
goal. One player is chosen to be the Panjandrum, an important
personage requiring a body guard. Two other players are chosen to be
the guard. The game starts with these three players in the home ground
and the balance of the players at large. The three issue forth, with
the two players who act as body guard clasping each other by the hand
and preceding the Panjandrum as a shield. The object of the game is
for the players at large to touch or tantalize the Panjandrum without
being tagged by his guard.

The guard will shift around their charge to avoid these attacks, and
the Panjandrum himself may evade them by moving around his guard.
Whenever a guard succeeds in tagging a player, the Panjandrum and his
guards return at once to the home; whereupon the player tagged changes
places with the Panjandrum, and the game goes on as before.
