• When the crocodile comes back, the children jump back to the shore. Any child who can’t jump up in time but is caught by a crocodile has to change into an alligator. If the crocodile catches 2 people at the same time, then those 2 people will determine who will be the crocodile by rock-paper-scissors.
• If the crocodile is not agile when catching another person to replace it, it will be a crocodile until “crocodile tears” or too tired.
