Basic Rules

One person stands in the middle of the boundary area, in our case it was the gym. The rest of the kids line up at an end of the bounds and when the tagger says go they all run to the other side of the bounds. Whoever the tagger tags then has to stay and help him.

Have Coaches be it for a couple rounds then at the end have all the players be in the middle and the coaches run away from the players
