WEDGE-TAIL EAGLE TAG

The class is divided evenly on to four sides of a square, each wearing a sash as a tail.

One player starts as the 'Wedge-Tail Eagle' and starts in the middle of the square and wears their sash over their shoulder.

The Wedge-Tail Eagle points to opposite sides of the square and the players of the indicated sides must run through the square to the opposite side.

Meanwhile, the Wedge-Tail Eagle attempts to steal the tails of the players running across the square.

If a player looses their tail, they wear their sash across their shoulder and join the Wedge-Tail Eagle in the middle.

EQUIPMENT: Sashes, cones.

AREA REQUIRED: Any large open area, half basketball court size upwards.

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We are going to play a game using this big square.

One person will start as the Wedge-Tail Eagle in the middle wearing a sash over their shoulder.

The rest of you will be split into four groups on each side of the square and wear your sashes like a tail.

The Wedge-Tail Eagle will choose and point to two groups on opposite sides of the square.

When you are chosen, you have to try and make it to the opposite side of the square without having your tail stolen by the Wedge-Tail Eagle.

If you do loose your tail, it doesn't matter, you get to put your sash over your shoulder and become a Wedge-Tail Eagle as well.
