When you think of a classic outdoor game, what comes to mind? Do you think of pieces of chalk ground to dust after constructing an epic game of hopscotch? Maybe you remember impressive hacky sack skills during recess. When we consider a game that spans generations, crosses cultural boundaries, and can begin with a simple tap, we think of tag.
The traditional “You’re it!” game is a staple in gym classes, playgrounds, and neighbourhoods everywhere, and requires minimal (if any) equipment or set-up to play. From a physical literacy perspective, tag is wonderful for developing fundamental movement skills like running, dodging, and stopping … to name just a few.
