Ouch Tag

Grade Level: 3-5

Describe the qualities of a safe and friendly tag: gentle, on the upper back, not accompanied by “Got you!” Have students spread out around the gym. Select 3-4 players to be “it”, and have them put on pinnies. Have all students begin on a poly spot. On “go!” taggers try to tag others, who say “ouch!” when tagged. Players are not out when tagged, they simply continue on as this is a practice activity.
