Description:
The students will develop their AGILITY and TEAMWORK during a fun game of Octopus Tag.
Step 1
Have your class line up on one end of the mat.
The instructor will stand in the middle of the mat.
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
I will call you over by saying something special such as:
Girls or boys only
Yellow belts
Brown hair
Green eyes
When I call you over, you will try and race to the other side of the mat without getting tagged by me.
If you get tagged then you will sit next to me and become part of my octopus arms.
You will then help me tag everyone else, but you must stay sitting and only use your arms tag people.
Continue until there is only one student left standing.
Step 3
To make it fun, have the last student standing become the new octopus.

Look where you are going.
Stay on your feet; no jumping or sliding.
