"Well, it kind of depends on what your goals are, doesn't it? If you want to exhaust 200 children at an All-Camp day so they'll sit still for a movie, you want Capture The Flag, and if you want to make them think, Author Tag is probably the best, and to cheer them up indoors if it's raining, something silly like Freeze Tag: Under-The-Legs-Style or Blob Tag or Tickle Tag."

"No, I mean, which one do you personally like having them play?"

"For my personal satisfaction? Streets and Alleys."

"Oh, yeah, me too. You get such a sense of power, all those kids lined up like a regiment, responding to commands like a drill team, and the 'cop' and 'robber' running between them and stopping so obediently when you call the switch. I think deep in my twisted heart, I'm a frustrated military commander."

"Wow, that's not why I like it at all. I like it because it looks like warp when the children put their arms on the shoulders of the ones in front of them, and weft when they stretch their arms out to the side, and the cop and robber look like shuttles moving between the threads."

"You mean, weaving with children?"

"Of course. I can't imagine picturing anything else."
