CHAIN TAG

Movement activity which requires students to move whilst linked to other students.

Played like a normal game of tag except that each time a player is tagged they join hands with the tagger.

Once the fourth person is tagged the chain breaks into two sets of two players and they continue. This means that there is only ever three 'links' (people) in a chain.

EQUIPMENT: Cones to define the area.

AREA REQUIRED: Any space. Whole class participation.

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

Be creative with the movement with which people can move in the space. eg walking/skipping.

Two students begin as taggers. Chains do not split but continue to from two longer chains.

Ask the student for their feedback on how the game could be modified, or any ideas they have to change it.
