Playing Tag (Chase, Tip) – Игра в пятнашки

Tag, also tip(коснуться), tick(стукнуть), it, chasey ("догонялки") and many other names, is a game with one or more players trying to touch other players.

In the USA, the game is called "Tag" because one player chases (дого­няя­ет) and "tags" ( касается) another player. In the UK (= United King­dom) and Ireland, the game is called "Chase" or "Tip".
