Hot Lava

So I overheard two kids at school today, and it reminded me about the Hot Lava Game. Maybe you played it when you were little, maybe you still play it as a college-aged kid right now, but the hot lava game is one of those classics. You choose areas on the ground where you can't step (usually red areas because they look like hot lava), and you shout "HOT LAVA!" Then, your friends and you are not allowed to step in those designated (red) spots. The person that falls into the hot lava trap loses. I had a red and blue carpet in my kindergarten class and the Hot Lava Game was a critical aspect of the recess period. Is it just me?

I played the "Don't Step On The Cracks" Game ... is that the same?

"Don't step on the cracks" is extremely similar, but the patches of so called "lava" could be bigger then cracks, often causing you to have to jump rather than tip toe through it (as you might do between cracks).
