Example 2 — Following the Rules
Let's think about a game of Duck, Duck, Goose.The Rule: The person walking around the circle taps heads and says "duck." When they say "goose," that person has to chase them.Not Fair: What if the person who is "it" just yells "goose" at their best friend every single time? That's not following the spirit of the game.Fair Play: A good sport taps a few different people with "duck" before choosing a "goose."Result: The game is surprising and fun for everyone in the circle because the rules are being followed fairly.
