Slap Jack(Herr Slap Jack; Skipaway)
_10 to 30 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium; parlor._
The players stand in a circle, clasping hands. One player runs around
the outside of the circle and tags another as he runs. The player
tagged immediately leaves his place and runs in the opposite
direction. The object of both runners is to get back first to the
vacant place. Whoever succeeds wins, and remains in that place, the
one left out becoming runner the next time.
This is sometimes varied by having the players bow and shake hands as
they meet. This adds an element of self-control, but detracts from the
vigor and sport of the game. This game is one of the standard
favorites for little children.
SCHOOLROOM
In the schoolroom this game is played with all of the
pupils seated except one. The odd player walks or runs through the
aisles, touches some player, and runs on around the room in the
direction he is going. The one touched at once leaves his seat and
runs around the room in the opposite direction. The one wins who first
gets back to the vacant seat. Dodging through aisles to shorten
distance is not allowed; the run must be around the outer aisles of
the room.
