Setup

You’ll need an open space large enough to be able to move around freely, like a park or any large open space. Get 3 players to hold hands forming a triangle and assign one of them to be the target who needs to be protected. Have another player be the tagger.

How to Play

The tagger’s goal is to tag the target, without going through the triangle. The players in the triangle have to keep moving to form a barrier between the tagger and the target. When the tagger tags the target, they join the triangle. The target then becomes the tagger. Assign a new target to play a new round.
