Steps

Playing with One 'It' Person

1. Find a barely lit area to play. Make sure there are a lot of hiding spots and that it is a safe place to run around.
   
   
2. Gather a group of people. One person should have a flashlight.
   
   
3. Choose who is 'it'. This person will have the flashlight and will be responsible for "tagging" people.
   
   
4. The person who is 'It' counts to 30-60 while everyone else hides.
   
   
5. The person who is 'It' should then start to look for people. To tag a person, the person that is 'it' must shine the light on them and call out their name.
