We’re going to play a game called Stuck in the Mud! Here’s how it works:
One or more people are the taggers. They chase everyone else.
If you’re tagged, you freeze and stand with your legs apart. You’re “stuck in the mud.”
To be freed, another player must crawl under your legs.
You can’t move or help until someone does.
The game ends when everyone is stuck, or after a set time.
Key Rule:
If you’re stuck, you must freeze completely until freed.
Variation: Card Rules
Add a twist! Everyone gets a playing card (keep it secret or wear it visibly).
Players are split into two teams:
- Freezers (taggers)
- Free-ers (runners)
You can only tag or free someone if their card is lower than yours.
Examples:
- A Queen can tag or free a 10, but not a King
- A 3 can’t tag or free anyone except 2 or Ace
Special Rule:
- The Ace can be tagged by anyone
- Only the Ace can tag the King
The rest of the rules stay the same.
