How to Play:
Designate a playing area with clear boundaries - this game can be played in any large open space, indoors or outdoors.
- Choose 3-5 people to be "it". Everyone else spreads out around the playing area.
- When a player gets tagged, he/she must lie down on the ground with their arms at their sides and legs together (they are the hot dog).
- As the player is laying on the ground they yell, "I need buns!"
- In order for a hot dog to rejoin the game, two other players must come to his/her rescue. One player needs to lie on each side of the hot dog to make a complete hot dog (wiener and bun).
- Once a complete hot dog has been made, all three players can rejoin the game.
- Switch taggers every 1-2 minutes.
- Play for a set time or until everyone is tagged.
