Have You Seen My Sheep?

  1. Players stand in a circle, with one, the shepherd, standing outside the circle.
  2. The shepherd walks around the outside of the ring, stops anywhere, and taps a player on the shoulder.
  3. The shepherd asks, "Have you seen my sheep?"
  4. The shepherd describes the clothing of another player, and when the player being questioned recognizes the player described, he or she answers: "Your missing sheep is Johnny [or Jane or Mary]."
  5. On being indentified, the sheep bolts from the circle and races around the outside, pursued by the player who made the identification.
  6. If the sheep can get back in place before being tagged, he or she becomes the shepherd for the next round. If he or she is tagged, the pursuer is the new shepherd.
