This is a game called Footprint Tag. Basically the goal is that one person has to try to tag the other person but they're only able to step in the footprints that are made by the first person. So what we're going to do is, and then there's something that the first person has to run to and if they touch it, then they're safe. So what we're going to do is we're going to have Autumn come over here. Come over here, Autumn is going to get a head start, she's a little bit younger than Bailey, she's going to run around. We've got a couple of obstacles set up here; the yellow bucket and the purple basket and then she's going to run straight for the tree. So we'll give her a little bit of a head start, Bailey will be right behind her and if he catches up to her and tags her, then he wins that game. But Autumn is going to get a little bit of a head start. Okay, ready set go! Go that way, go. Okay, you've got to step in her footprints. Hurry up! Keep going, she's going to make it to the tree. Go! Alright Bailey go. Okay, they're playing a game called Snow Tag where Bailey is trying to tag Autumn but he has to follow in her footprints. Oh, I guess he caught her. The thing that is different about the Snow Tag, is that obviously you can see your footprints in the snow which you can't do in the summer. So Autumn can do all kinds of loopy loops and turns and Bailey has to try to follow every single way in her footprint steps. If she would of made it to the tree, then she would of been safe.
