How to Play:
- Use the lines on the gymnasium floor to designate the playing area. These represent the roads that the players can travel on.
- Choose 2-3 students to be taggers.
- All players must follow the lines on the gym. You can travel in any direction on the line, but players are not allowed to jump to another line.
- To get to another line players must continue until they come to an intersection with another line and then they can follow that line.
- Taggers may reach out and tag other players who are not on their lines as long as the taggers remain on the line they are travelling on.
- If tagged, they player becomes a temporary "road block". The tagged player must lay across the line they were tagged on a perform an exercise (e.g. count to 10, sit up, push ups) for a designated amount of time.
- No one can move over a road block. If a player comes across a road block they must turn around and go in another direction.
- Switch taggers every 1-2 minutes.
