Handkerchief 
Players: Many, organized in two teams. One person (the leader) has a handkerchief in his/her hand.
Tools: A big Handkerchief.
Procedure: 
0.The players draw two parallel lines, and place a spot or central point in between, for the leader.
1.Two teams of players (same number of people) stand one in front of each other, along each line.
2.Each player thinks of a number from 1 to the number of players in the team. 
3.The leader places him/herself in between the two groups, on the marked spot. He holds a handkerchief in his hand.
4.The two groups place themselves along the lines on the to two different fields, opposite each other.
5.The leader, the person with the handkerchief, says a number from one to any number (the maximum is the number of total players in a team).
6.The person who thought of that number runs and try to catch the handkerchief. As far as there are one person in each group with that number, they can be face to face around the leader... until one of them decides to actually hold the handkerchief and rush away, back to his or her team's field. 
7.The other person must follow him/her and try to catch him/her before he/she arrives "home".
8.If the player with the handkerchief arrives to home, he wins.
9.If the player with the handkerchief is caught before arriving home, he becomes a "prisoner".
10. At certain point, it is possible to "exchange" prisoners and start the game again.
