Nothing says summer nights like a game of tag! A little hazy on the rules of yesteryear? Refresh your memory below! Go round up some neighborhood kids (and their parents, why not?) and get your game on! Go Ahead, Make Childhood Magical.
How to Play:
- Play this game at night outdoors.
- Find a place to be base.
- Choose one player to be “IT”.
- The person who is “IT” waits at the base and counts while everyone else hides. Hiders can move around during the game.
- “IT” searches for the hidden players with the flashlight. The flashlight must stay on at all times and cannot be covered.
- Meanwhile, players try to run to the base without getting caught.
- Players are tagged if “IT” spots them with the flashlight and calls out a player’s name.
- Each tagged player is sent to the base to wait until the very last player is caught.
- The last person tagged is “IT” for the next game.
Safety Tips:
- Have an adult mark off the game area and walk the perimeter with the players.
- Play in the safe area. Mark off dangerous holes and low hanging branches, and remove all potential hazards such as yard tools, toys, clotheslines, etc.
- Provide everyone with a flashlight for safety purposes, but only the person who is “IT” keeps theirs turned on.
- Players should not leave the game area without telling an adult.
- Never play near a busy street or intersection.
