Tag (game)

Do you know the game where one person is "it" and tries to tag (touch) all the other players? Well, that game is called tag!

Tag is a game that people play outside with their friends. In this game, one person is chosen to be "it" and they try to touch the other players. Whoever gets touched by "it" becomes "it" themselves, and the game continues until everyone has had a chance to be "it."

Sometimes there are special rules in tag, like "freeze tag" where the person who gets tagged has to stay frozen until someone un-freezes them, or "TV tag" where you have to name a TV show before you get tagged to stay safe.

Basically, tag is a fun game where you run around, try to be quick and avoid getting tagged, and everyone gets to take turns being "it."
