A grid of rectangles roughly 8m x 4m overall, drawn with chalk lines that defenders stand on.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a grid of rectangular lanes on the ground; defenders from one team each stand on a line, able to move only along it.

2

The attacking team tries to run through the grid from one end to the other and back without being tagged.

3

Defenders slide along their assigned lines, reaching out to tag any attacker who crosses their line.

4

A tagged attacker is out; the round continues until all attackers are tagged or successfully cross back.

5

Teams switch roles between attacking and defending after each round; keep score of how many attackers get through.
