Keep Your Tissue Up: Tag
Japanese name: 落とさずつかまえろ
Materials
- One piece of tissue or thin paper per person
- playing-area markers
How to play
- Choose two taggers. Everyone places a tissue or thin paper against their chest or abdomen, never over the face or mouth.
- Start on the signal. Run so the airflow holds the paper in place without using your hands. Taggers follow the same rule.
- If your paper falls, check around you, stop, pick it up and rest for 5 seconds before restarting. Do not tag a stopped player.
- On a gentle tag, swap roles. The new tagger arranges their paper and waits 3 seconds before chasing.
- Stop after 30–40 seconds and collect the paper. Drink water, rest and play several rounds with different taggers.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: no taggers. Older primary school children: two taggers.
