Chain Tag

Chain Tag

You will need - No equipment

  • Students move around the playing area using a hopping action - two feet to two feet.
  • Choose one student to be the tagger.
  • The remaining students move freely around the PE space.
  • The tagger hops around the PE space trying to tag students.
  • If tagged, that student must join the chain.
  • If escaping and not using a hopping action, the student joins the tagger.
  • If tagged when the chain is broken, the tag does not count and the student is free to go.
  • Remember that communication is very important when in the chain for moving, trapping and tagging others.

Variations & Adaptability

  • Increase/decrease the playing space
  • Change the way students may move around the space e.g. hop on one leg
  • Increase the number of chains e.g. have two chains on at the same time
