MATERIALS
- Chalk or tape to mark a grid of parallel lanes
HOW TO PLAY
1
Mark out a series of parallel lanes on the ground, with one defender assigned to guard each lane line.
2
The attacking team sends one runner at a time to dash through every lane from one end to the other and back.
3
Defenders may only move sideways along their own lane line while trying to tag the runner as they pass.
4
A runner who is tagged, steps out of bounds, or fails to fully cross a lane is out for that turn.
5
Teams swap between attacking and defending after a set number of turns; the side that gets more runners through wins.
