-Instructions:
-
Assign one player to be IT--more if there are more players.
-
At the signal to start everyone dribbles a ball in the designated area and the IT tries to tag another player with a pool-noodle they are holding.

When a player is tagged he gets the pool-noodle and tries to tag another player.

If a player being chased loses their ball they become the next IT.

The IT can only tag players between the shoulders and butt area.

For added running designate several ITs.
