blob tag

Contagious playground pursuit

Blob tag is a variation of the playground game tag where tagged players join hands with whoever tagged them, forming an ever-growing chain—the blob—that chases remaining players together.

The blob grows until everyone is absorbed or only one player remains free.

The blob got so big it could corner people against the fence.
