TEAM TAG

Split class into four teams using coloured bean bags to identify members of each team.

One team at a time is nominated as the taggers and given two minutes to tag as many people from the other teams as possible.

Once tagged, players squat down and place their bean bag on their head.

Tagged players can only be freed by a high five from one of their own team mates (same coloured bean bag).

Taggers are attempting to eliminate as many players as possible, while the others try to keep their team alive.

EQUIPMENT: Bean bags.

AREA REQUIRED: Any large open space such as basketball court. Larger areas such as whole ovals can be used if the group is up for it.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Speed (Chasing and avoiding being tagged).

Strategy (How will I eliminate as many people as possible / keep my team alive?).

Co-operation / Team work (How can we work together to eliminate more people / keep our team alive for longer?).

Persistence (Will I continue to chase someone if they keep getting away?).

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We are going to play a game with four teams. When you get a bean bag that will show you what team you are on (red team, green team etc).

Indicate the starting point for each team (corners are good).

One team at a time will be the taggers, who will have two minutes to tag as many people as possible from the other three teams.

If you get tagged, you need to sit down and put your beanbag on your head. You are stuck here until someone from your own team gives you a high five and sets you free.

After the two minutes is up, we all go back to our starting points and a new team will become the taggers.

CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION
CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION

How did it feel as a tagger when you nearly had a whole team eliminated and then they were all freed?

What strategies did you use to tag people / keep your team alive?

Did you focus more on avoiding taggers or freeing your team mates?

What happened if you forgot to free your team mates?

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

Did I accept each time I was tagged?

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
