SNOWBALL TAG

One person begins with a 'snowball' (tennis ball).

Their job is to try and tag someone else with the snowball - the snowball must stay in the hand.

The tagged person then gets a snowball and now there are two taggers.

The game 'snowballs' until every person has been caught.

EQUIPMENT: Tennis balls / cones to define area if needed.

AREA REQUIRED: Any size area depending on age group. Basketball court size as a minimum up to whole oval or bigger if the group if up for it.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Strategy (How will I evade the tagger? / How will I catch and tag others?)

Co-operation / Teamwork (How can I work with others to catch and tag people?)

Resilience (When I am tired or in a tight situation will I continue to try my best?)

Persistence (Will I do everything within my power to avoid getting tagged? Will I keep trying until I catch that person?)

Acceptance (Do I accept being tagged as being just part of the game?)

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

One person starts with a snowball, they are the tagger. Their job is to run around and try and get close enough to tag us with the ball in their hand.

If we get tagged we come in to where the bag is and we get a ball, our job then is to help that person out and tag other people.

We keep going until every single person has been tagged and has a tennis ball.

It's important to realise that once we are tagged our game is only half over and we need to keep going until every person has been tagged.

CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION
CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION

What was my strategy as the tagger?

What was my strategy to get and stay away from the tagger?

Is this an individual game or a team game?

Did you give equal effort to evading and to tagging?

What was challenging about that game the longer it went on?

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

For a quick restart play reverse snowball tag. The last person to be tagged remains without a ball. They then try to tag all those people who have a ball. Instead of collecting a ball, they return it to the bag and help out the tagger. Game goes until all balls have been returned.

Good activity to either give out or collect tennis balls.

Play the game on lines of a court, or in more challenging environments i.e. playground.

Use other pieces of equipment to tag: i.e. bean bags.
