Materials needed:

None

Accessibility:

Setup:

All players sit in a circle facing the center with one player designated as It standing on the outside of the circle.

Gameplay:

The player who is It selects a category having something to do with neurology.
That player walks around the outside of the circle tapping each player’s head and naming something that corresponds to that category.
The It player continues in this fashion until they tap another player and say something that does not correspond to the chosen category.
The player who is tapped must quickly get up and chase the It player around the circle, attempting to tag them before they sit down in the open spot.
If the It player successfully reaches the spot and sits down before being tagged, the chase ends, and the tapped player becomes the new It.
The new It player selects a new category and play continues.
