Game Description:
Try this fun twist on tag!
Objective:
Try not to get tagged by running away from the taggers OR holding onto a ball to be safe!
Game Rules:
Assign a few children as taggers. All the other children are runners, just like any other tag game, you do not want to be tagged by the tagger. If you are holding a ball you are safe, but the rule is you cannot hold the ball for longer then 10 seconds. Working together the children must throw and catch the ball avoiding the taggers. If someone is tagged, they must sit down until someone passes the ball to them.
Saftey Considerations:
Keep your head up!
Adaptations (optional):
Try playing this game by kicking the ball instead of throwing.
