Awesome, thanks for sharing! I might have to do a post on that game! Very well explained 🙂 Now that you mention it, I think I remember playing that as a kid. Thanks for sharing!

There is also another game called “Fish-out-of-Water” It is very much like silent Marco Polo besides that you can move around if not it. The “It” closes his eyes and moves around the boundaries, preferably in deep water so that the hiders can go underwater. Boundaries should be around 10-12ft wide and 10-12ft long.

Where does fish out of water come into this? Lets say John thinks he is cornered against a wall and it is only time before he is it. Then he can silently get out of water and move to another part of the boundaries. When John is out of water the “It” can say “fish out of water.” Then John would be It because he is out of water.

-No Peeking! No wearing dark goggles or no wearing goggles in general.

-If there are two people out of water than the last one in is it, if the “It” says “fish out of water.”

THANK YOU!!!

Holding your breath for as long as you can while the person moves over you and you slowly come up beside them takeing a slow silent breath so you wont be tagged great fun I played this game hundreds of times as a boy feel free to use this game I do not know it’s origin I have been playing it for forty five years.
