Brief Description

A circle tag game where the fox and hare can use different paths depending on the players' facing direction.

Group Size: 8-25 people
Difficulty: Medium
Materials: None
Playtime: Approx. 10-15 minutes

Game Description:

All participants stand in a circle, alternating their facing direction either into the circle or outward. One hare and one fox are chosen. The fox tries to catch the hare.

The game begins with the hare inside the circle and the fox outside. While the hare can move freely in and out between the players, the fox can only enter the circle by tapping a player on the back who is facing inward, and then taking their spot. This player then becomes the new fox.

If the fox wants to leave the circle again, they must tap a player who is facing outward and take their spot. This player then becomes the new fox.

The game ends when the hare is caught.
