 * <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Organisation || <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Have players find a partner and stand two meters apart. One partner in each pair is the "Fox" and tucks a flag into the back of the waistband so that it hangs out like a tail. The other partner is the "Hound". ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Instructions || <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">On signal "tallyho" each hound, chase your fox and try to snatch the fox's tail. If you succeed, tuck the tail into your waistband and run away from your partner. You are now the fox and your partner is the hound. After a few minutes, find a new partner and begin the activity again. ||

They are the hounds and try to snatch flags from other players. Tagged players become hounds and help tag others. ||
