• Rest of the kids, who are Stalkers, will hide themselves behind the bushes and trees in the meantime.

• After counting to 100 the Pony will slowly start roaming around in the play area.

• Other kids will smartly try to come closer to him without coming into his notice.

• If the Pony sees a stalker and calls out his name, then that player must get Frozen at that very point and cannot move further after that.

• The stalker closest to the Pony WINS!!!

• This simple yet interesting kids camp game allows the kids to mingle with the nature and fill their lungs with fresh & clean air.
