This game has been played around the world, with a variety of names and rules dating back to ancient Rome. In an attempt to "tag" or touch them, a player will be running around, chasing other players. There are no teams, scores, or equipment in the majority of this game. Usually, the goal involves being the last player left untagged or safe.

When is National Chess Day? As a way to get kids up and moving, the classic game is ideal for physical education classes. Students are often divided into teams and given boundaries with safe zones.
