Pumpkin Tag
Setup and Equipment:
- Stuffed Halloween character work well instead of yarn balls.
- Gym mat in front of each wall for a 3 second base.
- In our gym we randomly choose one team, which is 4-6 people to be taggers
Guidelines:
- Start up the Halloween music.
- Taggers can toss or tag by tossing or tagging shoulders or below.
- If a child is tagged, the child must freeze and sit down on the floor in a pumpkin shape (arm hugging his/her knees to the chest with one fist making a stem on his/her head).
- In order to become “unfrozen,” any player that is not a “witch” must see the frozen pumpkin, and give their stem a fist bump to free them.
Zombie Tag:
Music: Halloween Favorites with the Simpson’s Halloween Special as transition music.
Setup and Equipment:
- Stuffed Halloween characters or yarn balls to use as taggers.
- One mat is set up in front of each wall – these are safe bases
Guidelines:
- One team of 4-6 students is randomly chosen as “its” – they may throw (shoulders or below) or just tag players.
- If they are tagged, they are turned into a zombie, they have to find another zombie. Walk like a zombie until you find another zombie, then make a bridge with their hands, then a 3rd zombie will walk under the bridge and all three of them will have “free walk backs to a mat.
- Play continues for about two minutes while the Halloween music is played.
- When the music stops, choose a new team of taggers.
