a.k.a. freeze tag

A simple variation on the game of tag. Whoever is chosen as It has to run around and chase the other players. If s/he catches one, they must freeze, and stand with their legs apart.

A frozen player can be unfrozen if someone else crawls between their legs. This is also when people are most vulnerable: the playing field ends up littered with people frozen halfway between someone else's knees.

The game continues until all the players are frozen or stuck in the mud. The last one to be caught becomes it for the next round.
