HOW TO PLAY
1

Split into two teams and line up facing each other with the flag placed on the ground exactly between them.

2

Number each team's players identically, so every player has a matching number on the opposing team.

3

The caller shouts a number, and the two players with that number race to the middle to grab the flag.

4

The player who grabs the flag must run back to their own line before being tagged by the opposing number.

5

If the flag-grabber is tagged before reaching their line, the point goes to the other team; otherwise it goes to the grabber's team.

6

Keep calling numbers until every player has had a turn, then total the points to find the winning team.
