Tag is a chasing game, also called in BE 'He'. The person who starts is said to be 'It': 'Let's play He/Tag; I'll be It'. The person who is It touches or tags someone, and that person (the person touched) becomes It. So the typical opening gambit is: 'Let's play He/Tag; I'll be It and before anyone's reacted ... now you are.'
