Edison
Dead (Upside Down) Bug Tag
Setup and Equipment:
  • Four yarn balls for the "its"
  • Use the center black circle for the dead bug hospital
  • You may want to set up bases along the perimeter - or standing mats for "hideouts"
Rules:
  • Pick two players to be the "its" in the center circle - they each have a yarn ball for tagging
  • When a player is tagged, they lay on the floor in dead bug position (back on floor - feet and arms wiggliing)
  • Four players that are not "it" will each hold one arm or leg and gently carry the bug to the "healing circle" in the center of the gym
  • This bug is now healed and may return to the game
  • Play continues for one to two minutes and then new "its" are chosen
