How to Play
- Line up! We are going to make 2 teams.
- You must try to capture the other team’s “flag” and bring it back to your side. Each team will have one “flag” and one jail.
- You are only allowed to tag other players if they enter your half. If you are tagged you must go to jail.
- Once you are in jail, you must stay until your teammate gives you a high-five and sets you free. Both players must walk back to their sides and try again.
- Players cannot pass the “flag” between teammates. If you drop the “flag”, you must return the “flag” back and try again.
