TAIL TAG

All students start with a coloured sash tucked in the back of their shorts and hanging down behind them (tails).

On "GO", all students run around trying to grab the tails from other students.

It doesn't matter if they lose their tail; they still play on and try to regain a tail from another student.

Students can have a maximum number of tails (three is a good number) at which time they must focus of protecting rather than stealing.

EQUIPMENT: Coloured Sashes.

AREA REQUIRED: Any indoor or outdoor area that allows the class to move freely. Basketball court is sufficient.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Speed (Chasing and escaping).

Agility (Quick changes in direction to prevent tail being taken).

Peripheral awareness (Is anyone trying to snatch my tail from behind / the side?).

Strategy (What tactic will I use to protect my tail / snatch others?).

Persistence (Will I keep trying even if my tail is taken?).

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

When I hand you a sash, you need to tuck it into the back of your shorts so that it hangs down like a tail (a belt loop or pocket if you have a dress on).

When I say "GO" you need to try and snatch sashes from other people while also trying to make sure you protect your sash.

It doesn't matter if you lose your sash, just keep going and try to get one back from someone else.

You can't have more than three sashes at a time, so if you have three sashes try to see how long you can protect them for.

CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION
CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION

What strategies did I use to protect / snatch sashes?

What difficulties did you face trying to snatch sashes?

Did I have my sash hanging down an appropriate length? Why?

Did I ever hold my sash to prevent it being snatched? Why?

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

Change the movement pattern (skipping, jumping etc).

Vary the maximum number of sashes that students can have at one time.

Play the game in varied environments (smaller / larger areas, incorporating obstacles etc).
