STORYLINE
Today we are playing Alliance Tag. Your goal is to tag all the students on the opposing side before they tag you. Remember to always be honest when you are tagged and follow the rules of the game.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide you into teams by your camp groups.
Before the game begins, line up with your team on one side of the field.
When I say, “GO!” you have to tag someone on the opposing team before they tag you.
If you are tagged, or go out-of-bounds, you are down and must sit or kneel.
You may get up when your tagger goes down by getting tagged.
If you and another student tag each other at the same time, Ro Sham Bo to decide who goes down.
Students cannot be tagged during Ro Sham Bo.
We will begin a new game when only one team remains standing.
Game 1: After every five minutes, call a jail break – all students that are down are allowed to come back up.
Game 2: Play on a half-field to increase activity.
Variation: Allow tagged students to crawl. If they tag another student while crawling, they may stand back up.
Variation: For increased difficulty, tagged students do 10 jumping jacks or jog in place for 10 seconds.
Variation: Play with flags instead of tagging.
Exit Ticket: Students share a time in class when they or a classmate were honest.
TEACHING TIPS
Encourage campers to move around and not just stick near their friends
Make sure people are going on the 4th count so that there are no timing issues. You can do back-to-back if it helps.
