And, the best part about it - it does not cost any money, you can play it at the park or in the back yard, and the kids love it!

CIRCLE OF MADNESS

# of Players: 6 or more

Objects Needed: Shoe for each player

Begin by taking a shoe for each player and place them spread out in a large circle. The circle should be roughly 30 feet in diameter, and each shoe should be at least 10 feet apart from each other. The shoes signify safe bases. One person will start by being it, and they will stand in the middle of the circle of shoes (bases), and the rest of those playing will each start on a base.

The goal for the runners is to run across the circle and stand on another base without being tagged by it. The goal for it is to tag everyone twice to end the round. As the runners are running: they can not run to a base next to the base they are on; there can only be one person on a base at a time; and players can not stand on a base for more than 10 seconds (if they do, it counts as one of their two tags). The last rule for the runners is that they can run beyond the circle, but only 5 feet past the bases - if they run past the 5 feet barrier or are tagged at any time, it counts as one tag.

Players will continue to run around the bases trying to not be tagged by it. Once a player is tagged twice, they will be out for that round and sit on the sideline. The last player running around receives one point. Then, start another round and everyone will take a turn being it - the first player to score 3 poincan run beyond the circle, but only 5 feet past the bases - if they run past the 5 feet barrier or are tagged at any time, it counts as one tag.

Players will continue to run around the bases trying to not be tagged by it. Once a player is tagged twice, they will be out for that round and sit on the sideline. The last player running around receives one point. Then, start another round and everyone will take a turn being it - the first player to score 3 points is the winner!
