Ultimate Freeze Tag (Everybody's It)
Everyone is it. Tag at the same time? Rock, paper, scissors decides.
8–80 players · about 10 minutes · Run around · Gym, Big room, Outdoors
What you need
- Nothing
Setup
Mark the boundaries. Everyone spreads out. There is no single "it." Everyone is it.
How to play
- On "Go!" everyone tries to tag everyone else.
- If you're tagged, freeze: crouch down where you are.
- If two players tag each other at the same moment, they play one round of rock, paper, scissors on the spot. The loser freezes.
- Frozen players come back in when the person who froze them gets frozen, so remember who got you!
How to win
Last player standing wins. Rounds go fast, so play several.
Leader tips
- Shrink the boundaries for big groups so nobody can just hide in a corner.
- Ties happen a lot, and the instant rock-paper-scissors showdowns are the best part. Make everyone yell "Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!"
Ways to change it up
Thaw Out
Instead of waiting, frozen players can be unfrozen when any free player crawls through their legs.
