STORYLINE
Today we are playing Band-Aid Tag. Your goal is to avoid being tagged.
INSTRUCTIONS
- I will select a tagger and a doctor (un-tagger).
- Before the game begins, spread out into the field.
- When I say, “GO!” the tagger will try and tag you.
- Taggers may only use a two-finger butterfly tag.
- If you are tagged, you must sit down and cover the injured area (where you got tagged).
- The only way to get better is for the doctor to give you a band-aid (tag with a fuzzy ball).
- We will begin a new round when I select a new tagger and a new doctor.
TEACHING TIPS
- Approach:
- Play on a half-field only.
- Depending on class size, increase the number of taggers and doctors.
- Have the tagger wear a flag to tell who they are.
