Growing-Team Tag
Japanese name: 増え鬼
Materials
- Bibs or hats identifying taggers
- Playing-area markers
How to play
- Choose one starting tagger and agree on the playing area. The tagger counts to 10 while everyone else moves away.
- The tagger chases. Each gently tagged player also becomes a tagger, while the original tagger continues.
- New taggers identify themselves, for example by changing their hat color, then wait 3 seconds before chasing. Taggers do not hold hands.
- Stop when everyone is a tagger or after 1 minute. Do not surround the last runner or grab clothing.
- Everyone becomes a runner again. Choose a different starting tagger, rest briefly and begin the next round.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: let an adult be the final runner. Older primary school children: start with two taggers.
