Sailors & sharks tag game

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

A tag game where 'Sailors' must swim (run) between ships without being caught by the 'Sharks'


Resources

Equipment Needed: 4-5 (or more) floor mats and some bibs.
If you don't have mats then you can mark areas with tape, chalk, cones etc.

Instructions

1. Designate a playing area with marked boundaries. Scatter the floor mats around the playing area.
2. Choose 1-2 players to be "sharks". Sharks wear bibs to differentiate themselves from the other players. Everyone else is a "sailor".
3. All the sailors start the game standing on the ships (mats) that are scattered around the playing area.
4. To start the game the leader calls out, "sailors swim!". On this signal the sailors must "swim" (run) to a new ship while trying to avoid getting tagged by one of the sharks.
5. If caught by a shark, the tagged sailor becomes a shark and must put on a bib.
The game ends when there are only a few remaining sailors. The last sailors to be caught can start as the sharks the next round.
