Octopus Tag

Working together is very important for a student to learn about!

In this game, it is important to remember that we like the friends who are playing with us and to remember that we should not be rough or hurtful to those friends! 

Octopus Tag

In this game, the leader will have to designate the safe zones.  Typically, there are two safe zones at the two ends of the playing area!  

One person is picked to be the octopus.  Everyone else is to line up in one safe zone. 

The octopus begins the game by shouting "FEEDING TIME"

Everyone tries to run to the second safe place without getting tagged.  If the person gets caught, he or she must hold hands with the octopus. 

Now two people become the octopus.  They must hold hands and work together.  After shouting, "feeding time," they must run together and try to tag more people.  

When someone else is caught, he or she also become part of the octopus.  

The game ends when everyone has been caught.  

This game can get a little tricky when working with multiple age groups, so it is very important that leaders step in and help the octopus so no child is tripping or being dragged.  That's just no fun for anyone!
