tag (game)

 

  • [27][28] Deciding who is “it” In addition to games like rock paper scissors that can be used to decide who is “it”, some other methods are used in different parts of the world:
    • In parts of Asia, variations of a game known as pugam pugai or Saa Boo Three in India are played;[29][30] in one variation, a group of three players are asked to face one of their hands upward or downward, and if one of them faces their
    hand in the opposite direction of the other two players, then that player is eliminated.

  • The players must stay in the line formation throughout the game, and once the dragon tags the tail, the players all move up one spot, with the former dragon now at the back
    of the line.

  • Tag (also called chase, tig, it, tiggy, tips, tick, on-on and tip) is a playground game involving one or more players chasing other players in an attempt to “tag” and mark
    them out of play, typically by touching with a hand.

  • “[40] Variants British bulldog One (or two players) starts as “bulldog”, who stands in the middle of the playing area, while the other players stand at one end of the area.

  • Chhi-chhattar One player, known as the “kite”, starts off inside a circle formed by all of the other players (“cocks”) holding hands, and then breaks free, with the first
    of the other players to tag the kite becoming the kite in the next round of play.

  • [64][65] Poison In the game of Poison, play starts with players holding hands around a small “poison” circle marked on the ground.

  • The first player to be pushed or pulled into the circle become “poisoned”, all hands are released and the poisoned player or players must chase the others.

  • [70][71] Catch the dragon’s tail All the players line up by holding each other’s waists, with the player in the front known as the “dragon”, and the player in the back known
    as the “tail”.

  • At the start of the game, two of the players become a cat and mouse respectively, with all other players becoming pitchers.

  • The game ends when the tagging stops at which point there may be players who’ve never been tagged due to herd immunity.

  • The player who is “it” shouts “river” or “mountain”, and the other players must go to the area called out.

  • [63] A variant is that the player chosen to be “it” will, with assistance from players of the same gender, chase all members of the opposite sex and kiss one of them.

  • Children form a circle with their hands, and two players are chosen to be the Cat and the Mouse.

  • Another makes the players play rock paper scissors.

  • [18] Basic rules Players (two or more) decide who is going to be “it”, often using a counting-out game such as eeny, meeny, miny, moe or rock paper scissors.

  • “, or a matching attribute of one or more fishes, they try to run to the other side without getting tagged.

  • When playing the game tag, some may cross fingers to let others know that they, the player, cannot be it.

  • One player, the “picker” or “fox”, walks around tapping or pointing to each player in turn, calling each of them a “duck”, until finally announcing one of their choosing to
    be the “goose”.

  • In some variations, the previous “it” is no longer “it” and the game can continue indefinitely, while in others, both players remain “it” and the game ends when all players
    have become “it”.

  • [43] Cross tag In cross tag (also known as turn tag), if “it” is chasing somebody and then a third person runs in between, then “it” must chase the third person.

  • The game ends when “it” freezes all but one of the players who is then typically “it” during the next game.

  • Since two players often tag each other at the same time, this variant is especially prone to dispute.

  • The aim is to run from one end of the area to the other without being caught by the bulldog.

  • [38] A principal who banned tag in her school criticized the game for creating a “self-esteem issue” in nominating one child as a victim, and noted that the oldest and biggest
    children usually dominate the game.

  • [53] Four corners There are multiple variations of four corners; in one variation, four players stand at four corners of a square, and attempt to swap corners with each other
    without being tagged by “it”, who stands in the middle of the square.

  • Players may also make themselves safe from being tagged by the use of a truce term.

  • If the game is played by a number of players equal to a power of two minus one then it is easier to compare each generation to exponential growth.

  • All “unfrozen” players still in play can then touch frozen players to “unfreeze” them, allowing them to be back in play.

  • Though in most cases you will be able to stay in that pre-determined area for however long you would like, such as “house rules” including that feature.

  • [13] Some Indian variations of tag are theorized to represent certain things from ancient Indian history; for example, there is evidence to suggest that the traditional Bengali
    game of gollachut, in which players attempt to run out of a circular field without being tagged by opponents, may represent escape attempts by agricultural slaves during the Indus Valley Civilization.

  • The player selected to be “it” then chases the others, attempting to “tag” one of them (by touching them with a hand) as the others try to avoid being tagged.

  • In the United States of America the game is usually called ‘tag’, and in Australia it is sometimes called ‘tip’.

  • Throughout the game, the chicks must stay in the line formation, and if one of them is tagged, then they become the eagle.

  • This process then repeats with other players until finally, the last player eliminated in the final group of three is made to be “it”.

  • The game ends when all but one player is “down”.

  • When a person is tagged by “it”, they are then “frozen” (staying still in the place where they were tagged).

  • The last one tagged during tag is “It” for the next round.

  • In a variation, once the fish run to the other side without getting tagged, the game pauses until the octopus starts it again.

  • Yet, this rule may come into play only if the crossing of fingers is shown; if the fingers are not shown to the person who is it, then the crossing does not count.

  • The players try to run between the water and the land without being tagged.

  • [26] If you tag the person who is currently ‘it’ you effectively make yourself it.

  • One version allows a players to form alliances that dissolve once everyone but the allies are “down”.

  • [66] The floor is lava In one variation of “The floor is lava”, the players must avoid stepping on the floor by staying on raised platforms, while “it” (sometimes referred
    to as the “Lava Monster”) can walk across the floor and attempt to tag other players.

  • [36] A school dinner lady in Dorset was left partially paralyzed after a boy playing tag ran into her in 2004; her damage claim was rejected by three Court of Appeal judges,
    who ruled that the boy had not broken any school rules by playing the game.

  • The end two players on each team break from the chain and try to tag each other, taking them to their base if they do.

  • Capture the flag The field is divided into two halves, one for each team, and the goal of each team is to have its players go into enemy territory, grab the “flag” located
    in the back of their territory, and then make it back to friendly territory without being tagged.

  • The attacking team gathers in one quadrant, and aims to advance around the other three quadrants without having all of its players tagged out by the defensive team’s players,
    who must remain within the lines of defense.

  • The goal of the attacking team is to have their players cross as many trenches as possible without being eliminated by a touch from any of the nine defensive players, each
    of whom stands in one of the trenches.

  • There are four stones in the middle of the square, and the objective is for each player on the team of four to get a stone and then return to their own quadrant without being
    tagged.

  • [85] Gollachut In Gollachut, one team starts off in the center of a circle, and each of its players attempts to reach an area at the edge of the circle without being tagged
    by the opponents.

  • Once play begins, one player from each team attempts to grab the object and then run back to their own team’s end of the field to score a point.

  • One player is chosen to be Mr. Wolf and stands facing away from the other players at the opposite end of the playing field.

  • Only the two players at either end of the chain can tag other players.

  • The offensive player is restricted to hopping around on one foot, and aims to tag as many defenders as possible.

  • Blind Man or Grounders, is a version of tag in which one player, designated as “it”, is blindfolded and attempts to tag the other players, while the other players try to avoid
    them.

  • Kabaddi A Kabaddi raider trying to make it back over the midline while being tackled by the defensive team In Kabaddi , raiders cross a dividing line to try to tag defenders,
    while continuously chanting “kabbadi” on one breath while over the line, and then attempt to make it back over the line without being stopped (tackled) by the defenders.

  • Each tagged player becomes “it” as well, with all of the “it” players required to form and remain in a human chain by holding hands.

  • In one version, one team goes off and hides.

  • The attacker has the option of switching roles with a teammate by touching their back, and can also run around either pole to enter the other half of the court.

  • Sometimes the last player arriving to tackle the former ball carrier is the next person to be it; in other variations the player with the ball throws the ball up in the air,
    where it is caught by another player who becomes it.

  • Before “it” can tag the players, “it” must first put the can back upright and in its original position.

  • “It” must use sound localization to find one of the other players and tag them.

  • The game ends once all players have been tagged, with the last person tagged being the winner.

  • In some variants, if any of the players who are not “it” climb out of the water to ensure not being caught (depending on the variant, this may be cheating) and the player
    designated “it” suspects this, they are to shout “Fish out of water!”

  • [106] Baseball In the bat-and-ball game of baseball, the offensive team’s players try to score by advancing around four bases without being put out (eliminated) by players
    on the defensive team.

  • The game goes on until all of one team is in jail.

  • The mode of play is also similar to rugby league with attacking players attempting to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by
    tagging – pulling a velcro attached tag from the ball carrier.

  • Prisoner’s base In prisoner’s base, each team starts in a chain, holding hands, with one end of the chain touching the base.

  • One person is “it”, while the other players have to hide.

  • A team of several players attempt to climb up trees, while “it” tries to tag all of them.

  • “, and turn and chase the other players back to their starting point.

  • In each round, one player from the offensive team (the chaser) tries to tag a player from the defending team (the evader) within 20 seconds.

  • One way for a defender to put out an offensive player is to tag the offensive player (when they are not touching any of the bases) while holding the baseball.

  • The other team counts to a number such as 30 and then goes looking for them.

  • If a player is holding the object and is tagged by an opponent, then they fail and the other team scores a point.

    of regular tag; all the other players chase “it”.
