A Few Rules to Remember:
1. Only the end players of the blog can tag other players.
2. The blob must remain connected to tag other players.

- Choose 2 students to be the blob ("it"). These two students will hold hands and work together to try and tag other players.
- The rest of the players scatter around the playing area.
- On the signal, the blob will attempt to tag other players.
- When a player gets tagged, they must attach themselves to the blob by joining hands with someone on the blob.
- As more players gets tagged, they must attach themselves to the blob. The more players that get tagged, the bigger the blog gets. (The blob is essentially a chain of students joined by their hands - only the two students on the end can do the tagging)
- The object of the game is to be the last player captured by the blob.
