Dead Ant Tag teaches players to keep their heads up and encourages them to communicate to each other whenever they need help. It also works on fundamental movement skills, agility, speed and coordination. This game requires minimal to no setup and is a great modification to the traditional tag to keep the game fresh and engaging.

Outline the boundaries of the playing area, ideally half of a basketball gym. Select 3 players to be “it” wearing white, and have the rest of the players spread out throughout the open space wearing colours.
