tag

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
(playground catching game)

'tell you the price of a day in germany' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
A single letter 'g' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'may' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
