Virus Tag

Set-Up

Students start the game by holding hands and creating a circle. When the coach shouts VIRUS, the students start walking backward to make the circle bigger. The first objective of the students is not to let go of the people next to them and stay connected to the circle.

How to Play

The first student who becomes unconnected/detached from the rest of the circle is ‘THE VIRUS.’

The rest of the students in the circle have 3 seconds to run away before THE VIRUS can start to tag them.

The student who is the virus then attempts to tag other students, who also become the virus, and attempt to tag more students.

The winner is the last person tagged and ‘catch the virus.’
