Setup

Clearly set the boundaries of the playing field. Designate one, two, or three ‘taggers’ depending on the size of your group. Have one tagger for every 3 players. So for example, if you have 6 players, there should be 2 taggers. Have everyone well-spaced out from each other ready to start.

How to Play

Yell out “Go” and the taggers run after the other players trying to freeze them by tagging them. If a player is tagged, they become frozen and cannot move. To get unfrozen, another player (other than the tagger) has to tag you. You can make your own rule to get unfrozen. For example, to get unfrozen another player has to crawl through your legs or shake your hand for 3 seconds. If the taggers freeze all the other players, they win the round. Play as many rounds as you want, with different taggers in each round.
