El Juego del Topao

A Dominican version of the game of tag played by children. One person is designated as the chaser (the quedao) and must touch another player, who then becomes the new chaser or topao. A safe zone called the tani or tanibol, such as a tree or a wall, allows players to be safe from being tagged. The term tanibol can also be shouted by a player in an emergency to reach safety.

More fun versions of El Juego del Topao are played at the beach where it is harder to walk or swim.
