Tag Games
Freeze Tag: Blue ball carrier can freeze people by touching them with the ball. Yellow ball unfreezes, yellow ball is given to someone that is frozen they have to then go and find someone else that has been frozen to give the ball to.
Bug Catcher: When caught lie on your back with legs and arms in the air until someone comes and touches a hand or foot then join back in. – safety issues with pupils lying on the ground while others are running.
Fitness Tag: Each time a person is caught they have to go to the side and complete an exercise (jacks, sit ups, push ups etc). 1st time out they do 1 next time caught they have to do 2 and so on.
Scarecrow Tag: When the catcher touches you stand like a scarecrow (arms out) to be freed someone must run around you going under both arms.
Animal Tag: When caught do the actions of an animal - no noises. You are free when someone guesses which animal you are. Keep the animals simple so that people can guess.
Chain Tag: Game starts with one catcher. The first person that is caught links with the catcher by holding hands, they must stay linked to catch others. Chains can be no longer than 6 people when it gets to 6 chain splits into two 3’s. Safety is an issue in this game only try it with a class you know will follow the rules.
Hoop Tag Shuffle: Everyone moves inside a hoop. They must have both feet in the hoop and keep the hoop on the ground. Choose one colour to be catchers. When caught, swap hoops with catcher.
Helping Hands Tag: Sit down when caught. Two people need to help the person up by taking a hand each and helping them up. If only one person is holding a hand this person cannot be caught.
