Although primarily fun, tag games for PE (physical education) are also useful opportunities to invite your group to experience some ‘introductory risks’ such as interacting with others, exerting high levels of energy, experiencing ‘failure,’ and various forms of touch (when conducted within a safe, positive environment).
These type of running activities typically emphasise healthy competition, but include some fantastic elimination games too. PE teachers love integrating tag games into their curriculum to warm-up up their students and teach important fine-motor skills, but are also valuable in camps, youth group meetings, sport training sessions, children’s birthday parties and family picnics.
