Week Two

Weekly Update

Physical Activity:  So, here I am again, writing to you from a peach/cream painted room, on a wooden desk (I don't know what kind of wood). If you're like me, you like to run, if you not, then you can sit back and watch. I like tag, all kinds in fact, though Pack-Man tag and Flashlight are my favorites. There are lots and lots of tags and almost all are fun, but here are some that are quite creative, plus some of my favorites:

 Pack-Man tag:

• All you need is a basketball court

You choose one to three taggers and the game has begun. Make sure all the runners stay on the lines and that's it. Of course the runners can jump from line to line, but if the miss their out. There are two ways of playing it: One by making the runners sit down where their tagged or having them sit out. There sometimes are doctors who can heal the tagged runners. Also you can have secret doctors. Make it your own by adding or taking away things.

 Chain tag:

• Open field

 Pick an "it", then start running. Once the "it" has tagged you your part of him/her, link arms and start after another person. You'll start to have a long chain, but it must NOT break, if it does the game restarts. 

Freeze tag:

Choose a freezer, and a heater (if you like the version) and begin the freezing, and after that it's quite simple, just try to freeze and the heater will try to heat, the game goes on until either all the runners are tired and worn out or their heated or frozen. Some play that both the freezer and the heater can be frozen or melted, others only the heater, but I play that neither the freezer nor the heater can be killed.

 Cartoon tag: 

• Knowledge of characters

It's simple, appoint an "it". This it tries to tag as has as he/she can the runners have to think up cartoon, book, and movie characters, before the tagger tags them, the twist is that everyone has to listen closely, if they don't and a name is repeated they get tagged. 

Time Warp tag:

It's like normal tag just if someone calls for time warp, you run in slow, motion. It's your choice if everybody does, but the way I play is that even the tagger runs in time warp motion. The time warp ends when some calls again.

Electric tag:

• Large room

Its very plain and easy, once the tagger is chosen, he/she tries to quickly tag everyone, then they swiftly run off, but the tagger has an advantage, everybody he has tagged becomes a sitting tagger, they make a "bzzt" sound and sit where they were tapped. 

 Backwards tag:

Big Room/Large yard,

Timer Person,  So you'll need more than three people for this. Get your tagger and get started, but wait this is backwards tag, oh so you don't need a tagger, but lot's of taggers. Sense it's backwards everyone who usually  is a runner now becomes a tagger, and the one who you chose as a tagger is the runner. That runner stands at the end of the yard or room and the taggers at the other end, the timer person starts her timer and their off chasing the "not it". You play lots of rounds and whoever is "not it" the longest wins.
