Instructions:
1. Place a cup with a small stone in it on one end of the play area.
2. Choose one player to guard the cup and blindfold them.
3. The guard counts slowly and loudly to 10 while moving around the cup.
4. Others sneak toward the cup before the count reaches 10.
5. During the count the guard can shout freeze and everyone has to freeze where they are.
6. The guard can try to tag the players while counting or when they shout freeze.
7. Get tagged and you’re out; steal the stone to score a point.
8. The person to be tagged first becomes the next guard.
Variations & tips:
1. Add different sound cues like claps or whistles instead of just “freeze.”
2. Allow players to crawl, tiptoe, or roll to reach the vault.
