OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Sneak Attack II. In this game, the objective is to get to the end line without getting tagged.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will select five guards (taggers).
  • Before the game begins, everyone will up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder. The guards will face backwards by the end line.
  • When I say, “GO!” you must try and get to the end line without getting tagged.
  • If you are tagged or go out-of-bounds, you become a guard.
  • The guards may turn around at any point and tag you.
  • Guards can only use a two-finger butterfly tag.
  • If you get to the end line without being tagged, you are safe.
  • We will begin a new round after everyone has either made it back to the baseline or has been tagged.

 TEACHING TIPS

  • Approach:
    • Remind guards the longer they wait with their backs turned, the easier it will be to tag the runners because they will be closer to them.
    • Depending on class size, increase or decrease the number of guards.  
    • For increased difficulty have students wear flags.
