Surely, there are countless variations, perhaps relating to region or culture. Nonetheless, forget everything you ever knew about the game and prepare yourself for an introduction to a rollicking new version as played by giants, real giants. There are five of these big fellows and they are very bored. There they sit atop a mountain wondering what to do. To pass the time they decide to play Giants Steps - their way. After doing "one potata, two potata, three potata, four" to determine who will be "It." The fifth giant, who is usually unlucky winds up being "It." He sits there counting while the other four take off to the far corners of the globe. How and if he finds them makes a fun story for young readers.
