Tag games are great for the beginning of a practice session or as an energizer in between. Some tag games also help new groups overcome their fear of physical contact.
Alphabet Tag
Like regular tag, but you can protect yourself by saying a word that starts with a specific letter before being tagged. The letter advances through the alphabet with each round.
Freeze Tag
When tagged, you freeze in place. Another player can unfreeze you by crawling through your legs.
Chain Tag
Tagged players join hands with the tagger, forming an ever-growing chain that chases the remaining players.
Shadow Tag
Instead of touching, the tagger must step on another player's shadow.
