Slap Hand Tag

SLAP HAND TAG

TYPE: Active

Play in a large room

The group is divided into two teams.  Each team stands in a line facing the other team.  The first player from team A runs across to team B, and slaps the hands of three players.  The third player he slaps must chase him back to team A's line.  If he gets tagged, he becomes team B's prisoner and stands behind the player who tagged him.  If he doesn't get tagged, the player from team B becomes team A's prisoner and stands behind the player he was chasing.  Play continues with the first player from team B, then the second player from team A, etc.  If a player who becomes a prisoner has his own prisoners, his prisoners are freed and return to their own team.  The game ends when one team loses all of their players.

Variation: Stop the game after a certain time limit; the team with the most prisoners wins.
