`Marco Polo`

Game is to be played in a swimming pool.

Object of the Game: Not to get caught by "Marco" (the person who is "it")

The one that shouts "Marco" has to try and catch one of the persons who shouts "Polo". It can be shouted as much as possible. Once he/she catches a person, then that person is now "it" and so on.....

OR

We played with one additional rule to add to your list. Everybody EXCEPT the "marco" (or 'it') was allowed to get out of the pool AS LONG AS they had one body part in the water. For instance, I may have just my big toe in the pool. I still have to answer your "marco" with my "polo" so it pays to keep moving, but I have to keep something in the water. This rule lends itself to alot of jumping in and out of the pool as well as jumping over some heads.
