Tag Variations


 Freeze Tag

TV Tag

Shadow Tag: To tag a person, you step on their shadow

Reverse Tag: Have multiple taggers and one person evading

Pair Tag: Taggers are a pair running with linked arms

Octopus Tag: 2 lines with a Octopus in the middle. Octopus says "Come _____(jump, twirl, swim, etc.) in my Ocean" and everyone runs from one line to the other. If caught they become seaweed. They stay in one spot but can tag others as they run across.

Body Part Tag: Freeze the body part tagged (i.e. arm, leg, etc.) and cannot use that part until another player "heals" it. (i.e. if your leg is tagged, you would hop around on one leg until healed)

Blob Tag: After tagged, players join hands with the tagger and become part of the "blob" tagger.

Tail Tag: Each Player has a tail (bandanna, sock, etc.) that they tuck into their pocket. Every player is a tagger and a player. Try to grab each others tails. If their tail is nabbed, they do a quick fitness activity (jump in place, run, etc.) and then rejoin the game. The person with the most tails after a certain amount of time wins.

Dragon Tag: Line of people holding each others hands or shoulders with end person having a tail. The head of a dragon can grab another dragon's tail.
