Camp Game: Freeze Tag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s PJ Collie here. One of my favorite games to play with the campers is ‘Freeze Tag’. It’s sort of like regular tag but with a twist. This game can last a while and is quite the workout for the person who’s ‘it’ but it makes an amusing change from the regular version.

In Freeze Tag, when one of the players is touched by the person who is ‘it’, they have to freeze in place. They can be unfrozen if they are touched by one of the other players who have not yet been frozen. The game is over when the person who is ‘it’ has frozen all of the other players – if they haven’t collapsed from exhaustion that is!

There are a few different variations on tag that we can try too. In Build Ups, each person tagged becomes an extra ‘it’ and is able to tag players in addition to the original person who is still ‘it.’ The game is won by the last person to be tagged. Chain tag is the same idea but the people who are tagged hold hands to form a chain and only the players at the end can touch the free players.

I like to save Tag for the end of the day, to wear out my campers for the evening! If all goes according to plan – they’ll be beat by nightfall.

    I really don’t like tag, but freeze tag looks kind of fun, and chain tag looks like it would cause chaos!
