-Setting Up:

  • Players pair up and hold either end of a half-length pool noodle.

  • Players are in a scattered position throughout the playing area.

  • About one pair out of every 6-8 pairs gets an extra one or two half-length pool noodles--These are for the ITs.

-Instructions:

  • The leader assigns a movement pattern (gallop, run, leap....)

  • The ITs try to tag another pair of players. When successful the tagged players become the new ITs.

-Questions & Notes:

  • Variation:

  • Players that are tagged do some kind of activity.

  • Questions for Understanding:

  • How can ITs most effectively tag other players?

  • How can not-ITs most effectively avoid getting tagged?
