A lot of us gather to one house and we put a cloth on some persons eyes of the crowd. The rest of us stand around him and start mocking him and the person he catches has to put the cloth on next. This is the way we play tick. We all stand along a wall and a person stands out in front of the crowd. When the person that stands in front of the crowd ticks a person he has a certain place to run to and if he is not at the place before the person he ticks catches him he will be put out of the game.
