Fun Game for Micro players - Caboose Tag


OBJECTIVE:	Caboose Tag is a fun warm-up activity to use with younger players.
DESCRIPTION:	In a grid marked off with cones, designate several players as "taggers", and have the remaining players form "trains" with three players in each train. The second player in the train (the "box car") puts both hands on the shoulders of the first player (the "engine"), and the third player (the "caboose") places both hands on the shoulders of the "box car". When play begins, the taggers attempt to tag the cabooses, while the trains attempt to protect their cabooses by running around the grid. If a caboose player is tagged, he becomes a new tagger, and the tagger becomes the new engine of that train. Any player who is a tagger when time expires loses, and must do five "hops" before playing again.
