🏃 Running & Tag
Pac-Man Tag
Everyone can only move along the lines on the floor, just like the classic video game.

Get ready
- Use the lines on a gym floor or tape a simple maze of connected lines.
- Choose 2-3 "ghosts" to be the taggers.
- Everyone else starts standing on a line.
How to play
- Everyone, taggers included, must keep both feet on the lines at all times.
- Ghosts walk quickly along the lines to tag the other players.
- If you get tagged, sit down right where you are. You become a roadblock no one can pass.
- Players can't jump from one line to another.
- Play until everyone is caught, then choose new ghosts.
Tips & variations
- Fast walking only. Running on lines leads to collisions.
- Tagged players can become ghosts instead of roadblocks to speed things up.
- Good choice for kids who can't run as fast, since everyone moves at walking speed.
📖 Bible connection
Players have to stay on the path to stay in the game. Psalm 119:105 says God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, showing us where to go.
