Instructions

Works best as a wide game outdoors.

- A player is chosen as "It" and a landmark such as a tree or lamppost is chosen as the base.

- Players who are not "It" run and hide, while "It" counts to 40

- Their objective is to get to base without being seen, and then shout "forty forty home". They are then safe and wait for their friends to join them.

- In order to catch someone, "It" must see the person, run back, touch the base and say "forty forty I see [name]". If the "seen" player is behind or in an object, it must be specified; e.g. "forty forty I see [name] behind that tree" while pointing at it.

- Players that are caught by the "It" return to the start. The last person to be caught by the end of the game is "It" for the next game. Some variants make the first person caught "It" for the next game.
