For the safe version of red rover you stand in two lines and call a person over like the regular version but instead of linking arms you put your hands out in front of you and the person that got called over comes over and walking up and down the line and slaps one persons hands then runs back to there side the person that had there hands slapped chases the person that was called over if the chaser catches them they both go back to the side that called and if they do not get caught both people stay on the slappers side.
