Girls, after school my son played in the yard with his classmates — and the chant "Chai chai, rescue us" sounded. I was quite surprised. Then I remembered how my girlfriends and I would shout some chant. We would shout the words themselves at the top of our lungs. But I can't remember the rules anymore. And I don't remember whether it happened in kindergarten, at school, or at a camp. My husband and I have a one-year age difference — he doesn't know this game. How about you? Have you played it? Was it from the 1990s or from the Soviet era?

Это точно детская считалка-игра, которую часто играли вокруг — в садике, школе или лагере. Вариаций было много, и многие называли её по-разному: упоминают «чай-чай, выручай» или похожие рифмовки. Такие ритуалы были характерны для СССР и продолжались в 80‑90-е, поэтому твоя память вполне укладывается в этот период. Если поделишься ещё деталями — как начиналось, что делал ведущий, что за «выручай» происходило и как выбирали одного, кого спасать — попробую подсказать конкретное название варианта или ближайшую его версию. Разные районы могли помнить по-разному, поэтому мужу тоже могло не запомниться точно.

We used to play; I was born in the '90s. But I don't remember the rules anymore. It's wonderful that kids today are playing old games.

The kids are playing, but I didn't get to play as a child. Maybe it's something regional?

I know a game like that, but I don’t remember the rules well. It’s basically a tag game: if someone touches you, you have to stop and shout 'Чай чай выручай'. The person who hasn’t been caught yet can help by touching you, and then you can start running again.

We played. I was born in 1984. We even had a catchy chant: 'tea-tea, rescue me, into an interesting game, and I won't tell you which one—guess for yourselves…'
