Tag Race

Setup

• Players in pairs
• Cones marking two parallel lines about 10-15 apart

Objective

• To tag the other player, then beat them in a foot race back to the starting line

Area

• Area marked out by cones

Functions

• One player from each pair stands on each line
• One in each pair stands facing away from their partner
• The other player races up to their partner, then tags them to start the race
• First player to make it back to the starting line wins

Safety

• Ensure pairs are spaced far enough apart to minimise the risk of collisions
• Use this game to teach the “Chop Stop” technique of changing direction (see video below)

CHANGE IT ideas

• Area: make the space between the cones shorter or longer
• Number: play with smaller or larger groups
• Game Rules” have players hold out hands, and have the hand they are tagged on be the direction they need to turn in (see demonstration in video)
