Divide everyone into two teams. Each team is given a "territory" - normally, one team is given the front yard, one the backyard. Territory could also be divided into right side of house and left side of house - whatever configuration works best. (Division into more than two teams is also possible, for larger groups.) Each team is given a flag (we used to spend a few minutes, after dividing into teams, drawing images, perhaps a team name, etc. on a piece of paper or fabric scrap flag) - then each team secretly hides the flag somewhere in their territory. Now team members must try to sneak over into the other team's territory to find the flag and not get tagged. Tagged players are removed from play, or given a penalty of being "out" for a set length of time. First team to find another team's flag and bring it back to their territory wins.

yeah one of the best games it was fun cuz when you get tagged you go to the other teams side til one of your team mates tagges you well we would go to were you had to be tagged and pretend we were tagged then behind everyones back we would take the flagg and run it was like a group of 5 of us so four would surround the person who got the flag

We used to have these huge games on Fiesta Island in San Diego. I was a game that really scaled to 100's well.

It's a tad different in Brazil though :D first off you dont hide the flag (which is usually someone's flip flops lol), and if youre tagged in the other teams territory you have to stay there until someone from your team un-tags you. ITS FUN!

Yes, when I was younger, we would get a large group of people together to play at night. We would use Glo-Sticks as our flags. We would sneak up onto a golf course and play until we were exhausted!

Every summer at camp, boy did it suck. Especially the being outside in "nature", to many bugs for me.
