Nits & Worms
A tagging game that has players laughing and working together.
How to play
Halve the group of participants. Instruct one group that they are the 'Nits' - they place both hands on their head. The other group are 'Worms' - they place both hands on their bottom. On 'Go', players run around the designated area attempting to tag members of the opposite team. If tagged, players swap teams and continue trying to tag others from the opposite group. The aim is for one group to turn all participants into either nits or worms. The game ends when this is completed.
Variations
If the terms 'nits' and 'worms' are not appropriate for your group, change the name of the game to 'Heads & Tails'.
