_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

A circle about three feet in diameter is drawn on the floor in the
front of the room and serves as a goal. One player is chosen to be It,
and stands ten feet from the goal. The other players sit at their
desks. The one who is It calls the name of some player, who must at
once rise and try to run through the goal and return to his seat
without being tagged. In order to do this, he may have to make quite a
detour before passing through the goal, or he may be able to run
through it at the opening of the chase. The chaser must also run
through the goal before he may tag the runner. If the chaser succeeds
in tagging the runner, he continues to be chaser, and calls the name
of another player to run. If the runner gets to his seat without being
tagged, he changes places with the other and becomes It.
