Back to Outdoor games
What you will need
Two flags or flag-like objects (towels, sweaters, shirts, socks, etc.)
Open play area
6+ People
Setup
Divide the playing field in half so that each side has a fair amount of playing area and announce the dividing line
Divide number of players into two teams
Each team then hides their “flag” on their side of the field
How to play
Each team must try and capture the opposing teams flag without being captured
To capture the flag you must find, grab, and bring back the opposing teams flag to your side of the playing field without being tagged
Rules:
Once you cross the dividing line, you can be tagged by the opposing team and be “put into jail”.
Once in jail you cannot be released unless tagged by a member of your own team.
There is to be no “puppy-guarding” or standing next to the flag to protect it
