SCREEN TAG

Working in groups of four; three students stand in a circle holding hands, the fourth on the outside of this circle.

On the word "GO", the student outside the circle attempts to tag a nominated student who is part of the circle.

The other two members of the circle try to stop this happening by spinning the circle and getting their bodies in the way.

Students change roles frequently.

EQUIPMENT: Nil.

AREA REQUIRED: Any cleared area large enough for students to move freely.

BENEFITS

Co-operation / teamwork (how can we work together in the circle to prevent being tagged?).

Persistence (Will I keep trying to catch that person?).

Strategy (How will I catch the nominated person?).

Agility (Quick changes in direction to catch the circle off guard.).

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

In your groups of four (games such as Five Noses can help to organise groups), three people need to join hands and form a circle.

Once you have done this, choose one person in the circle as the target. When I say "GO", you have to do everything you can to stop the person outside the circle from tagging the target.
