HOW TO PLAY MISSIONARY TAG
Missionary Tag is an exciting group game that requires teamwork, quick thinking, and agility. Here’s how to play:
* Gather your players and form a circle, interlocking elbows with partners. One player will be designated as “it” and another as the “runner.”
* The “it” player chases the “runner,” trying to tag them.
* The “runner” player can lock elbows with any player in the circle to become safe.
* The player on the opposite side of the “runner” must now run to avoid becoming “it.”
This game can accommodate 7 to 61 players, making it an excellent choice for larger groups. Players should think quickly and communicate with their partners to evade being tagged. The game encourages teamwork and agility, making it a fun activity for all ages.
HISTORY OF THE GAME
In High School, we called it Missionary Tag as the game required you to have a companion. It was a popular activity during recess, fostering both competition and camaraderie among friends.
