Rushing to beat someone while playing

My daughter scares me and laughs, and I runs to beat her. My intention is not to beat her heavily but just for fun, rushing to give light beat on her because its just a playing. How do I express this in a sentence? I can't say 'I runs to beat her' because my indention is not beat her but just playing.
