Back To Back Tag

TYPE: Active

Play in a large area

One player is chosen to be "it." He remains "it" until he tags another player who then becomes "it." In this variation of tag, the players can be "safe" only when they stand back to back with another player.  No two players may stand back to back for more than five seconds.  A time limit is set, and whoever is "it" when the time limit expires, loses.

Variation:  Instead of only one "it," all of the players who are tagged remain "it" and can tag other players.  The last player to remain untagged at the end of the game wins.
