Objective
Safe Circles is a variant of tag where the children run at a high-intensity pace to avoid being tagged or to tag other children.
Instructions
- Mark out a play area and place two or three hula hoops on the ground/floor.
- The hoops are a safe area, but the children cannot stay their for more than a few seconds (for example, until they count to five).
- The tagger tries to tag one of the other children (the tagger cannot wait near the hula hoops).
- When a child is tagged, he/she becomes the tagger.
Variation
- The game can be varied by playing tag in pairs.
