Handball - Runners, Taggers, Free’ers
Set-Up
Divide the group into thirds: ‘Taggers’ / ‘Runners’ / ‘Free’ers.’
Taggers - They will run around the area, only attempting to tag the runners.
Runners – Try to avoid the taggers who, on being tagged, must freeze and assume a catching position.
Free’ers – Run around with a dodgeball and identify who has been tagged in the catching position. They throw their ball to the catcher, who must try and throw it back. The free’er then identifies a new player to release.
Students rotate roles after a few minutes.
How to Play
The Taggers try to tag ALL the Runners within a time limit. The Free’ers try to free the tagged students and unfreeze them by making a thrown pass.
