Colourbands for zombies

How to play

Begin with one or two players nominated as zombies wearing colourbands. Zombies must walk with stiff arms outstretched and cannot run. Free players can run freely but must stay within the designated area. When a zombie tags a free player, that player also becomes a zombie, puts on a colourband if available, and must also walk with outstretched arms. Zombies work together to herd and corner survivors. The last survivor wins and becomes the starting zombie next round.

Variations

Designate safe zones where survivors can rest for up to five seconds before they must move on. Allow zombies to shuffle quickly rather than walk to increase challenge.
