Spanish term or phrase: mancha
Necesito traducir juegos típicos de niños pequeños de Argentina. El juego es la "mancha"/ "jugar a la mancha".
Se trata de un juego que tiene variables tales como "mancha pulpo", "mancha televisor", "mancha aro" en donde uno es "la mancha" y debe alcanzar y tocar a otro, quien se convierte, ahora, en la mancha.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda.

tag


Explanation:
Se elige a una persona para que sea 'La Mancha'. Luego esta debe atrapar a los demas particpantes. Los participantes tienen que intentar escaparse de la mancha. Cuando la mancha toca a alguien, deja de atrapar y la persona atrapada se convierte en mancha.

Tag is a similar game in England.

Tag (also called tig, it, tiggy, tips, tick, tip) is a playground game involving one or more players chasing other players in an attempt to "tag" and mark them out of play, usually by touching with a hand. There are many variations; most forms have no teams, scores, or equipment. Usually, when a person is tagged, the tagger says, "Tag, you're 'It'!" The last one tagged during tag is "It" for the next round.

Mancha pulpo would be octopus tag etc.
