tag
Any of various schoolyard chasing games in which players are caught by being touched: We played tag at lunch time. Compare chasey, chasings, tig, tiggy, tip2.
Contributor's comments: I now live in Brisbane where my children play tiggy or tag, but their immunity is called being "on bar". When they are tagged, they become "it" or (I think this is an Americanism) "up". I am fairly sure that in Sydney the game is called chasey.
