How to Play
- Line up! I’m going to make two teams.
- One team will put one hand on their heads, and the other team will put one hand on their stomachs.
- You must tag someone from the other team to transform (switch hand position) them to your team.
- If tagged, you transform (switch hand position), become a part of the other team, and continue to tag.
- Keep playing until everyone is on one team.
Check for Understanding
- What do you do when you are tagged while you have your hands on your head?
