Game Description:¶

Zombie Tag

A tag game for any group size:

1-3 people (depending on group size) stand in one corner of the room. These are the zombies, who still want to infect the remaining survivors.

Everyone else stands opposite them on the other side of the room. They are the survivors.

The zombies must approach the survivors with outstretched arms and slow, shuffling steps, trying to tag them.

However, the survivors can save themselves by calling the zombies by name. This forces the zombies to return to the starting line.

Variation:

With younger children, you can represent the zombies as penguins trying to catch the fish at the end of the lake with slow, waddling steps.
