When the chosen person yells "Face the wall!" everyone on the opposite end faces the wall while the tagger counts down from five and hides behind an exercise mat. When the tagger gets to zero, everyone runs across the gym to the other side trying not to get tagged. If runners peek they become a tagger; if they get tagged they become a tagger; and if they touch a mat they become a tagger.
