Raise Your Hand
Here are the Taiwanese folk games by junior high school students aged 13-14.

Material: none
Place/Site: any indoor or outdoor place.
Number of participants: more than 5 people; the more the better.
Aim: To respond quickly and precisely according to the command.
How to play: Players sit in a circle. Choose a girl or a boy to be "IT". IT walks around the circle, and then stops and stands in front of a player. IT points to the player and says "Raise your hand". But the one who is being chosen shouldn't raise his hand. And the players who sit next to the person must raise their hands. The one who sits on the right raises his left hand. The one who sits on the left raises his right hand.

The one who raise the wrong hand will be "IT" at the next turn. The one who has been IT more than three times will get punishment. (E.G. Singing a song or tell a story).
