Speed (How was I best able to tag others?).

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Everybody has a tennis ball except for three people who are the taggers. You'll know they are the taggers because they have no tennis ball. Their job is to run around and tag as many people holding a tennis ball as possible.

If those of us with a tennis ball get tagged we have to stand still like a scarecrow (demonstrate stance).

If we haven't been tagged, we can free tagged players and allow them back into the game by rolling our tennis ball between their legs. Remember that you can't / can still be tagged when you're freeing someone else.

What was my strategy to tag / avoid being tagged?

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

When tagged, players place their tennis ball under their foot and can be released when another player throws them their tennis ball, they catch it and throw it back.

When tagged, allow the scarecrow to decide how they want to be freed (thrown to or rolled between their legs).

Vary the number of taggers and the playing area.
