Rules
This game is also called Sly fox, Peep behind the curtain or Black pudding.
One player is IT and stands at base (a wall or line). IT must have their back to the other players who stand in a line facing IT about 10 metres away.
The players try to sneak up on IT and touch their back without IT turning around and seeing them move.
Before IT can ever turn round, they must count to 10 or say a rhyme such as “L-O-N-D-O-N spells London” or “One, two, three, four, five jam tarts”.
They can say this quietly, under their breath, so the other players can’t hear and don’t know when IT is about to turn round.
When IT turns round, the other players must “freeze”. If IT spots any player moving, they have to go back to the start again.
