Boiler burst

From Games Wiki

Boiler burst

• The players form a semi-circle forty feet from the goal with their backs to it and facing in.

• IT stands at the centre of the circle and begins to tell a story, either making it up or an old familiar one.

• At any point he chooses, the storyteller says "and the boiler burst" upon which all the players run for the goal.

• IT runs after them attempting to touch one. The runners are safe when they reach the goal; the first player tagged before reaching safety is IT.
