Fox & Geese

A fun game in the snow

First of all, make trails through the snow all around the yard with your feet. Make sure you don't get the trails too close (so people can't jump trails) . Make (+/-)2 Geese nests by stomping out wide spots in the trail in a couple of locations. One person is the fox and everyone else are geese. Only one goose can be in a nest at a time so if one goose enters the nest, a goose already in the nest must leave. Geese are safe from the fox while in the nest. The Fox runs around and tries to tag the geese. Once a goose is tagged, they must sit out the game until all geese are tagged..then the first goose that was tagged becomes the fox. Here are some variations on the game.
