Chalk the Arrow
Source text
Section titled “Source text”This is usually played in the city streets, one player running and trying to keep out of sight of the others who follow. The runner is given time to disappear around the first corner before the others start after him, and at every corner he turns he marks (with chalk) an arrow pointing in the direction he takes. Those pursuing follow by the arrow, the first one seeing him being the runner for the next time.
This may also be played by having any number run and only one follow, the first becoming “it” for the next time.
