    The 'robber' assigned to that number then runs and tries to grab
    the item and get back to their place before the 'cop' with the
    same number tags them.

    If the robber is successful, the other robbers ask the student,


    "What have you got?", and the robber replies, "I've got a/an..."

    If the cop tags the robber, the robber has to give the item to the
    cop. The cop then takes the robber to the jail where they sit out
    for a few rounds (or the rest of the game).

    The other cops then ask the student, "What have you got?", and
    the cop answers, "I've got a/an..."

    The game continues until all the objects or flashcards have been
    gathered.

    The team with the most objects or flashcards at the end of the
    game wins.
