"We were playing 'predator and prey'.  Some of us got to be the predators and some of us were the prey."

"We played camouflage, and we started in a group, and then someone counted and we went to hide so they couldn't find us.  If they find you, they call your name and you have to go back to the circle."

"We played coyote cache."
"Someone is the coyote and they're trying to not let the person get the thing, and they try to tag people."
