Body Guard Tag

Instructions for the leader

Activity: Tactical Tag with Assigned Protectors Divide the group into pairs: one "Player" and one "Bodyguard." Clear a large boundary-marked playing field. Pre-Activity Guidance: Conduct a physical safety briefing. Emphasize that Bodyguards block positioning with open movement and screening, but strict non-contact blocking rules apply (no rough tackling or holding). Structure & Rules: Tagging Objective: Players attempt to tag other Players with light taps on the shoulder. Bodyguard Duty: Bodyguards (wearing identification like armbands or hats) use physical positioning to shield their assigned Player from incoming tag attempts. Role Switch Penalty: If a Player gets tagged, their pair must pause for 15 seconds, swap roles (Player becomes Bodyguard), and re-enter play. Timing: Play 5–8 minute rounds, then mix up pairs for a second round.
