OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Knee Tag. In this game, the objective is to be the last student standing.  

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Before the game begins, spread out onto the field with both your hands on your knees.  
  • When I say, “GO!” try to tag another student’s knees.
  • A tag only counts if a student’s hand is not covering their knee.
  • If your knee gets tagged or go you out-of-bounds, you must sit down.    
  • You can only get back up when the person that tagged you goes down.
  • If you tag someone’s knees at the same time they tag yours, Ro Sham Bo to decide who sits down.
  • Students cannot be tagged during Ro Sham Bo.
  • There are no alliances.
