ELIMINATION TAG
GRADES K-8
NO EQUIPMENT! Students line up at one end of the gym. 1 or 2 students are "it" in the middle of the gym. They are the only ones allowed to run and tag people. If tagged, students must sit down at the location where they were tagged and reach out to tag others, who then must also sit down. When sitting, students must stay ON THEIR BOTTOM to tag others running by. The gym floor becomes a maze of students trying to reach out for others running by. Last 1 or 2 to be eliminated are "it" for next game. Boundaries help. This is great for recess duty for all ages. I have had students standing with their feet "frozen" to the spot where they were tagged if the surface outside was too wet to sit.
