MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES
The game of plain, old-fashioned Tag may be made great sport,
especially if suddenly and unexpectedly commenced in a group of
players when other interests seem to lag.
The game has many variations, a considerable number of which
are here given, each variation making practically a different
game.
This game is found in all countries and is prehistoric. It is
supposed to have arisen from the idea of fleeing from an evil
spirit, and in those forms from which immunity is found by
touching wood or iron or taking some particular position, that
especial feature is supposed to have originated in the idea of
breaking the spell of the pursuing evil.
