I remember playing it in primary school rather than at augustines, as the playground there was just the job for ralivo.
Basically you were split into 2 teams. It was a bit like "ticky-it" , where one side would run after the other, and if they ticked an opponent he would have to stay in the "den" until released.
The den was the playground fence, and being captured meant having to keep touching it.
you could only be released from the den by a free team mate reaching it , kicking it and shouting "Ralivo! Ralivo!"
When this happened, all the captives were released.
If all of one team was captured, the teams were swopped for a new game.
