Play Tag

Young kids through teens will find this a fun game to play.

It's popular as a pick-me-up game around the neighborhood, as a gym class activity and as a get-up-and-go game on the playground at break time.

Ages 3 and up

Tag is loved by preschoolers to teens. It's a fun game that gets kids up and moving around.

It's perfect for the playground, at a picnic, or in a large yard.

Begin by choosing one player who will be "it". "It" is the player who will chase the other players.

The chaser closes her eyes and counts to ten while the other players move away from her.

At "ten" the chaser begins running after the other players, hoping to catch them.

The players try and steer clear of her as they don't want to be tagged.

If a player is tagged, he is the new, "it" and the fun begins all over again.

If you're playing tag competitively to decide a winner, each player who is tagged will be out of the game.

The last player standing becomes the new "it".

Depending on how many kids are playing, not everyone will be tagged by "it".

You can set a time limit as to how long the game will be played.

If this is being played in gym class and there's a large group of children, break the kids into two teams.

Let one team play a game until a certain amount of time has elapsed. Then let the second team play a game.
