I can remember 'off ground tig' when you were safe if you were off the ground. And 'chain tig' when those who were tigged joined hands with others in a long chain until everyone was caught.

The other games we had were 'reallio' - a team capture games; 'block' - a form of hide and seek; and eggitybudge - a form of tig using a tennis or similar sized ball.

Oh, and by the way, you're 'it'!
