Organisation
Tag and stick is a 'closed loop game'. This is where there is a clear ending for when the game stops. You could play for a set amount of time or to achieve a particular goal. Participation can be either individual or as part of a team.
It is easy to set up. You only need a group of players and some cones to mark out an area.
How to play
Choose one child to play the glue monster. They run after the other children to tag them by touching their back or shoulder. They then immediately stick to and join the glue monster.
Once the glue monster has grown to four children stuck together, they split back into two. Now, the two pairs search for other children to stick to before splitting again. The game ends once everyone has been caught.
