How to Play Snow Footprint Tag:
IT must wait at the starting line while giving the other player one or two seconds as a head start toward the finish line. Then IT must travel in the footprints of the player heis chasing. The object is for IT to catch up to the other player before they arrive at the finish. The other player is to try and wiggle and swerve and make quick turns so the IT can’t catch them and possibly make IT fall over a couple times in the path.
Winner:
If IT hasn’t caught the other player, then have the players begin at the finish and head toward the start. Then switch who is playing IT and continue play.
