HOW TO PLAY
1
Choose one player to be "it" while everyone else spreads out in an open, sunlit area.
2
The player who is "it" chases the other players, trying to step on their shadow rather than tag their body.
3
A player whose shadow is stepped on becomes the new "it" and must chase the others.
4
Players may dodge into shade or huddle close together to shrink or hide their shadows.
5
Set a boundary for the play area so the chase does not spread too far.
6
Keep rotating the "it" role as shadows are tagged until everyone has had a turn or time runs out.
