FREIGHT TRAIN TAG

Working in groups of 3-5 one student is the tagger and attempts to join the end of the train by either tagging the last student, or running to join the end of the train.

Students form a line where they hold the hips of the player in front of them. All students in the line are facing the same way.

The tagger stands alone facing the front of the Freight Train.

Once the tagger is successful in tagging or joining the back of the train, the front student becomes the tagger.

EQUIPMENT: Nil.

AREA REQUIRED: Any space. Whole class participation.

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

The back of the train can place a colour band at the waist band of their uniform acting as a 'tail'. This then becomes the target for the tagger. The tagger must steal the tail from the back of the train.

Ask the students for their feedback on how the game could be modified, or any ideas they have to change it. Apply these modifications/changes.
