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.
