STORYLINE
Today we are playing Terminator Tag. Your goal is to avoid being hit by the terminators.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will select five people to begin as the terminators.
  • Before the game begins, spread out onto the field.
  • When I say, “GO!” the terminators will try and hit you with a fuzzy ball.
  • If you are hit (from the shoulders and below) or if you go out-of-bounds, you become a terminator.    
  • You may not terminate (throw a ball) a person that just hit you.
 

Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Game 2: Allow every student to have a fuzzy ball (similar to Chaos Tag). If a student is hit with a ball they must sit down. A hit student can only get up when the person that hit him/her goes down.

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Approach:
    • Play on a half-field only.  
    • Depending on class size, increase the number of terminators.
