STORYLINE
Today we are playing Toilet Tag. Your goal is to avoid being tagged by the plumber and turned into a toilet.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will select a plumber (tagger).
  • Before the game begins, spread out onto the field.
  • When I say, “GO!” the plumber will try and tag you.
  • Plumbers may only use a two-finger butterfly tag.
  • If you are tagged, you must sit down like you are using an imaginary toilet and put your hand out to the side like a handle.  
  • The only way to become free is for another student to pull down on your handle and make a ‘Whoosh’ sound.
  • We will begin a new round when a new plumber is selected or when everyone turns into a toilet.   

TEACHING TIPS

  • Approach:
    • Play on a half-field only.  
    • Depending on class size, increase the number of taggers.  
    • Have plumbers wear flags to tell who they are.
