One person (who left the room when "it" was chosen) comes and stands in the center of the circle and has to figure out who is "it".While the person in the middle isn't looking, "it" will secretly catch someone else's eye and do that person's signal. That person has to secretly do their signal back, and when this happens, that person is now "it". So as the game is played, the person who is "it" is constantly changing as people transfer being "it" to others. If the person in the middle suspects someone, he/she just asks, "are you it?" and if yes, then that person becomes the person in the middle, a new "it" is secretly chosen and a new round begins. ... more» Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:59:19 GMT http://www.planetlovegrove.com/yacs/articles/view.php?id=13&action=these-chocolate-chip-cookies-are-better-than-yours Really. 2,231 batches of cookies later and I think I've got them close to perfect.
