One child is the shark and stands in the middle of the yard. The other kids are the minnows and line up at one end of the yard. The object is for the minnows to get from one end of the yard to the other without being caught, aka tagged, by the shark. If tagged, then the minnow also becomes a shark.
Bob: Let’s play sharks and minnows

The children in his basement: Yeah

Bob: I’ll be the shark

Kids in the basement: ok

When a male sits on a female's (or another male's if you're into that)'s face and they chomp his balls. The balls are the minnows. The chomper is the shark.
