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.
