Chain Game

Written By Lee Hartley

How to Play

The Chain Game is a simple game that gets students to work together to tag other students.

Select two students to be designated as team 1 and team 2.

These students run after and tag other students. If a student is tagged, they hold hands and form a chain. The two students now have to work together, run after, and tag other students. Every time a student is tagged, they join the chain by holding hands.

As the chain gets longer, the students must work harder to work together to tag the remaining students. The chain must not be allowed to break; if it breaks, they cannot tag students until they are joined.

Once all the students have been tagged. The winning team is the one that has the most students joined as a chain.

Progressions
