Triangle Tag
Group Size: minimum of 4 people
Time: 5-10 minutes
Equipment: a wide-open space
Overview: Three people hold hands to form a triangle and move quickly to prevent a fourth person on the outside from making a tag.
Main areas addressed by this activity:
· Ice Breaker Exercise
· Team Building
Basic Procedure: Choose a random method to divide your assembly into groups of four people. Ask three of the people to form a circle by holding hands a facing each other. Identify which on of the three people in the triangle is designated to be tagged and which two are the protectors of that person. The fourth person is the tagger, and his or her job is to move around the outside of the triangle and tag the tagee. This is the tough gig because it is hard for one person to take on three people. If after some time the tagger is unsuccessful, switches up the roles. This game is not about completion and tagging, but the trying aspect of the game. The only ways a person can get tagged is outside of the circle, diving through the triangle is not a way to tag a person.

Debrief Questions:
- What made you struggle the most as a tagger? As a protector?
- What was your strategy as a tagger? As a protector?
- How did change the number of people in the formation change the game? Did it make it easier or harder?
- Holding on shoulders rather than hands forms the triangle.
- Switch up the number of people in the ‘triangle’, thus changing the number of protectors and creating a new game of tag
