Partner Tag Without & With The Ball (Two Player Activity)

– Select one partner as the tagger to start. Have them perform i.e. ‘5 jumping-jacks’ before chasing. Gives the other partner an opportunity to move away from them.

– The game then becomes a regular tag game. When there is a tag:

1. Partners simply switch roles,

2. The partner who is tagged, i.e. does ‘5 jumping-jacks’ and then begins to chase

IF there are three individuals (i.e. two siblings and parent(s)) then one sits out at corner cone and the other two play, when the tagger tags, then the partner on corner cone (can make this cone a different colour or add a pinnie to that corner) enters and the other goes through their area to the corner cone for recovery.

Variations:

* Play the game first without a soccer ball.

** Vary the way that they are moving. i.e. both walking, running, skipping, galloping, hopping (take off and land on same foot) etc

*** Include a soccer ball and both players must have control of the ball at all times including when they are tagging.
