A
game played by
children in the
United States (and possibly in other countries as well). To
play, some
kids pretend to be
cowboys, and others
pretend to be
Indians. Then the
kids run around and
shoot each other with pretend
guns, all while shouting "
I got you! You're dead!" and "
Nuh-uh! You missed!"
An equally
popular variant is "
Cops and Robbers", in which some kids
pretend to be
policemen and some pretend to be
criminals. More
shooting and refusal to
fall down usually follows.
