Make "it," in a kids' game

TAG

Think of the playful chase where one child yells this word while lightly touching another to pass on the role. It’s not hide-and-seek, but it does involve running!

In the kids' game "tag," one player chases others to "make it"—meaning they touch someone to pass the role of "it" to them. The clue plays on the phrase "make it," which here refers to tagging someone rather than creating something. It’s a straightforward reference to the classic playground game where being "it" is the whole point.
