  2. The game I like best is rats and rabbits. The rats stand on one side and the rabbits on the other with some distance between. One person stands in the middle. If he says rats the rats run after the rabbbits sometimes he says rabbits and the rabbits run after the rats. If they catch some of the rats they go over to the rabbits side and if the rats catch the rabbits the rabbits would have to go to the rats side. The game is finished when some side has captured all the others.
