Flashlight Tag
Tag in the dark, but the "it" player has a flashlight.
6–40 players · about 15 minutes · Medium energy · Outdoors, Gym, Big room
What you need
- 1–3 flashlights
Setup
Turn off the lights (or wait until dark outside). One or two players get flashlights.
How to play
- Everyone else hides or sneaks around the area.
- If you get caught in the flashlight beam and the "it" player calls your name, you're caught.
- Caught players go to "jail," which can be freed by a free player sneaking in and tagging them.
How to win
Play until everyone is caught, then switch who's it.
Safety: Clear the area of tripping hazards first, and keep a few adults inside the play area.
