HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose two or three players to be 'current' taggers, who must move around the field using a rowing motion with both arms instead of running freely.

2

All other players move around the space using the same rowing arm motion while trying to avoid being tagged.

3

A tagged player must freeze in place with arms still rowing, and can only be freed if another free player rows past and tags them.

4

The round ends when all players are frozen at once, or after a set time limit.

5

Rotate who plays the taggers so everyone gets a turn, and play multiple rounds.
