Squat Tag
When a player who is pursued is tired, he is allowed to stoop or squat close to the ground, the pursuer not being allowed to touch him in this position. The number of squats allowed varies from two to eleven.
King's Land
One, representing the king, stands the within the boundaries agreed upon at the beginning of the game. The other players can be touched by him only when they venture inside the boundary. By running in and out again on all sides, they strive to confuse the king and divert his attention from one to the other. In Connecticut the forbidden land is sometimes called "Van Diemen's land;" in New York, "Dixie's Land;" in Philadelphia, "Golden Pavement;" in Devonshire, England, "Judge Jeffrey's Land," and the old English name for it was "Tom Tiddler's Ground." The French call the king "Crow."
Sailor's Tag
All should be blindfolded. Place a knotted handkerchief or towel in the hand of each player. The players may be divided off in pairs, if desired. They then attempt to strike each other, blowing a whistle or crying "Here" after every strike. The one who crys out then moves away quickly, while the opponent slashes furiously at the place where the sound came from or where he thinks the other may be. Exceedingly laughable.
Blind Man's Biff
Place boxing gloves on one, or a number of pairs of player (blindfolded), and let them "biff" each other.
