7-Up Tag

Game Description: 
Find the tagger who tagged you!
Objective: 
To develop hand-eye coordination & a sense of shard space.
Game Rules: 
7 taggers stand in the play area while the rest of the group stands on a boundary line. The students on the boundary line turn around and close their eyes and stick out their thumb. 7 taggers go around and tap one thumb. When they are done, the taggers say " Heads Up, 7-Up!" The students that were tagged then have to chase the 7 taggers to find out who tapped their thumb. The students that were tagged continue tagging the original taggers until they find out who tagged them. If a tagger did not tap a student's thumb, they must say "Not me!" Coach can do a countdown to start a new round.
Saftey Considerations: 
Demonstrate safe tagging: light touch, like butterfly wings on the shoulder; Unsafe tags: hard contact that might cause the person being tagged to fall
