Game is to be played in a swimming pool. Object of the Game: Not to get caught by "Marco" (the person who is "it") Rules: One person is chosen to be "it" he/she closes his/her eyes and gets on one end of the swimming pool. He/she counts to 10 and shouts "Marco" and all the others in the pool shout "Polo". 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..... Contributed by Kelly ORWe 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 a lot of jumping in and out of the pool as well as jumping over some heads.Contributed by Aleaza ANDJust one small rule to add to your list. You always had to answer every "marco" with "polo". If "marco", or the person who is "it", notices you didn't answer, he says your name. If a majority of the players agree, then the person who didn't answer is it. The only exception is if the person who didn't answer was underwater at the time. Contributed by Nicole Jones ANDThose shouting "polo" can get out of the water and run around if they want. However, if "Marco" shouts "Fish out of water", the person who is out of the pool is "it".
