Chasing Games

Pac-Man Tag

Equipment

None (requires a court with visible lines)

How to play

All players must move only along the lines of a court such as a basketball or netball court. Players cannot leave the lines or cut across open floor. One player is Pac-Man and chases others. When a player is tagged they become another Pac-Man. Players can move in any direction along the lines but must stop and change direction at intersections rather than running through. Strategy and cutting off pathways is key to this game. The last player tagged wins.

Variations

Designate certain line intersections as safe zones where a player can pause for three seconds. Use multiple courts to accommodate large classes.
