Shadow Tag

Category: MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES





_4 to 60 players._

_Out of doors._

This is a very pretty form of tag, suitable for little
children, and they delight in playing it. It hardly need be
said that it requires a sunny day.

The player who is It tries to step or jump on to the shadow of some
other player, and if successful, announces the fact by calling the
name of the player. That player then becomes It.

The teacher or leader will need to encourage the children to venture
boldly into the open spaces, where the shadows become apparent, rather
than to huddle on one side of the ground, where the chaser cannot
reach the shadows.
