Edison
Valentine Hug Tag
Setup and Equipment:
  • Four soft red balls for the "cupid - its"
  • Practice the hug: Lean forward with two soft taps
  • Practice the Macho Hug: Do a thumb handshake with two hand taps on the other person's back
  • Practice becoming a "heart" by lifting arms (elbows up) above their heads and pointing their hands downwards to the top of their head.
  • When a person is tagged they stand frozen in this position.
Rules:
  • The "cupid - its" attempt to tag players by throwing or tagging them with the red ball
  • If a player is tagged, they stand frozen in the "heart" position
  • A heart is unfrozen and the player returns to the game when another player gives them a hug - or a "macho hug"
  • Continue the game by having the "old its" pick "new its"until turns are completed by each student.
