Step-by-Step Instructions
- Spread your group throughout a designated area.
- Everyone has three ‘lives’ and their task is to avoid losing a life for as long as possible.
- Everyone starts by walking around the area, no running.
- As you are walking, randomly tag one person on their shoulder.
- This tagged person must quickly call out the name of a person (other than ‘It’) who is still in the game.
- The named-person will become the new ‘It” who must immediately seek to tag someone new.
- This process will repeat itself – a tag is made, a name is called, a tag is made, a new name is called, etc.
- A person may lose a ‘life’ in one of four ways:
– Just-been-named did not tag a new person quickly;
– Just-been-tagged did not call a name quickly;
– Just-been-tagged called the name of their tagger (It) or someone who has been eliminated; or
– The tagger (It) calls out a name as they tag someone. - Once a person has lost three lives, they are eliminated from the game.
- Continue playing until three final people remain, or the energy starts to wane.
