    A game of chain tig is carried in the following way. First of all the boys stand in a row. One of the boys goes around counting the other boys, and the boy the number twenty falls on is the chainer.
    Then that boy runs after another boy till he catches him, and when he catches him the two boys hold each others hands and run after another boy till they catch him. this game continues till all the boys are caught and the last boy caught is the chainer.
