Top Games: Orientation: Mosquito Tag

Game 1: Mosquito tag

1. The tagger with a noodle, the mosquito, chases the other children.
2. Children who are tagged need to sit down with their legs straight.
3. Children still free can release them by jumping over their legs.

Tips

1. Children are only allowed to aim at the waist or below.
2. You will need a full-length noodle, half a noodle is too small and the noodle needs to be firm or the sting will not be straight and hang down.

Goals

Main goal: Orientation is of key importance like all tag games, having to keep track of the sting, all the other children, and the walls.
In addition: Physical activity, endurance, and speed in particular, as well as reaction, are improved.

Story

1. Have the sting be all 3 of these insects, a mosquito, bee, and a wasp, one after the other with children avoiding getting stung. 
2. This is an easy way to have children stick with it longer instead of doing the same challenge 3 times.

Progressions

1. The shorter the sting, the more you increase the challenge to tag children.
   
2. The longer the sting, the more you increase the challenge to dodge the sting.
