Hello how may I help you? I want to know how is the first person picked to be 'it' in a game of tag Sure thing. At the start. The first person to ask who the IT is will be the IT Is there any other ways to determine a person is 'it'? You can try to determine it by a coin toss. Oh that too, or a game of rock paper scissors Yes. That would do. Are there any other variants of tag that are played in other countries and locations? There are with varying set of rules. But the game it self stays the same. I see, thanks for the info No problem. Anything else? No not at this time. Thanks again
