Switch trees!

Play with at least four people. One is the tagger. Choose a tree for every runner. At a tree you are safe. On the signal, switch trees. The runner tagged on the way becomes the new tagger.

  • 6–8 · 8–12 years
  • About 15 minutes
  • Outdoor play

What will your child practise?

React to a signal and watch out for other runners.

What you need

At least four players and one recognisable tree per runner.

Step by step

  1. Choose a bounded area and walk around it to spot roots and sticks. One person is the tagger.
  2. Each runner starts at a different tree. On the signal, everyone changes tree. The tagger can tag only between trees.
  3. Stop after a tag. The tagged runner takes over. If nobody was tagged, signal another round.
