Tag, Toss & Run - Victoria Rowell
WHO GOES FIRST?
Choosing captains, picking sides, and deciding who goes first is part of many backyard games. Here are a few time-honored methods for settling the question.
FLIP OF A COIN
Heads or tails? A tried-and-true, easy way to get a game started but perhaps the least interesting.
ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS
A game unto itself, with its own world championship and an entry in Guinness World Records 2012 (6,500 players at once), Rock, Paper, Scissors is played with hand gestures of a fist (rock), two fingers (scissors) and open palm (paper). In a game of two players vying for captaincy, the rock trumps scissors, the paper beats rock and the scissors cuts the paper. If both players throw
the same gesture, they play again.
HAND OVER HAND
Using a stick or, especially, a baseball bat, one player tosses the object to the other, who must catch the stick or bat no higher than halfway up. The would-be captains then alternate grabbing the object just above each other’s clenched fists until one player reaches the top and can stretch his or her thumb over the top of the stick or bat.
COUNTING OFF
In counting-off contests, one player recites a rhyme while pointing at a different player for each word in the rhyme. A classic example is, One potato, two potato, three potato, four; five potato, six potato, seven potato, more; one big bad spud.
Whoever is being pointed at during the word spud
is the it
player for that
