A phrase required

Hi

Could you please tell me if there is any set phrase/expression which children say when they want a short break (for whatever reason) during a game in which they are running from someone (from the child who is catching them)? Here in Pakistan they say "two-times"--and then they are allowed a very short break in which they can set their shoe/drink water etc.

Thanks,

Tom

I seem to remember that it's "time out" just as it is for "real" sports.
