Tail Tag

All class members are given a colour band which is tucked into the back of their shorts so that approximately 2/3rds of it is hanging loose out the back (like a tail). The game starts with the class spread out over the designated area. On the signal all students aim to run around and protect their own tail whilst attempting to grab as many tails from fellow students as they can. To protect their own tail students should move away or turn away however they are not allowed to hold onto their tails or to hit the arms of the chasers away. If forced out of the playing area while attempting to protect their own tail they lose their tail to the chaser. If a students own tail is stolen they may continue in the game until the game ends. When signal to stop is given all students must count up the number of tails they collected, with the winner being the student who collected the most. Games should last for about 1 minute.

Make the playing area smaller or larger to modify the style of game play necessary to win.
