Tag is a playground game that involves one or more players chasing other players in an attempt

to "tag" or touch them, usually with their hands. There are many variations; most forms have no
teams, scores, or equipment. Usually when a person is tagged, the tagger says, "Tag, you're it".

Watch Your Back Tag

Before You Start:

 Demonstrate safe tagging:
o Light touch, like a butterfly wings, on the shoulder
o Unsafe tags: hard contact that might cause the person being tagged to fall
 Review the boundaries and the consequence for going outside them, such as must get on
one knee and assume the person who was just chasing tagged you

Set Up:
Designate a large play area with clear boundaries

How to Play:
 The object of the game is to tag as many people as you can without getting tagged yourself
 If you do get tagged you take a mental picture of who tagged you and then drop one knee
and freeze.
 When the individual who tagged you gets tagged you can get up and start tagging again.
 Players must be honest if you get tagged to stop and take a knee.
