Tail Tag

You will need:

• a large plaspace (preferrably out of doors)
• a leg of old panty hose for each child (cut legs from tops)

What to do:

• pass out panty hose legs one to each child
• encourage children to tuck their leg of hose into the back of their waistband on their pants or shorts (or into their belt) for their tail
• if some children are wearing clothing that does not permit this, tie another leg of hose around their waist like a belt and then they can slip their tail into it
• the idea of the game is to run around and try and pull someone else's tail off
• tails are then returned to their owners and play resumes
• how many tails can you pull off?
• make sure tails are returned so as to avoid fights
• N.B. this game can be particularly stressful for younger children as they do not like to lose their tails
• be ready to sort out little spats and to encourage fair play and good sportsmanship
