_10 to 30 or more players._

_Gymnasium; playground; seashore._



A circle is marked on the floor or ground considerably smaller than an
outer circle formed by the players, clasping hands. Each player tries,
by pulling or pushing, to induce the others to step within the smaller
circle, but endeavors to keep out of it himself. Any one who touches
the ground within the inner circle, if only with one foot, is said to
be poisoned. As soon as this happens, the player or players so
poisoned become catchers; the other players shout "Poisoned!" and at
once break the circle and run for safety, which consists in standing
on wood. The merest chip will answer, and growing things are not
counted wood. If played in a gymnasium, iron may give immunity instead
of wood. Any one caught before reaching safety, or in changing places
afterward, joins the catchers, and when all have been caught, the ring
is once more surrounded.
