Raptors

Raptors is a fun tag game to play with lots of people (average elementary class size) and a big area (we use our school soccer field). I'm not sure why it's called Raptors, because it's actually just normal tag, but it's really fun. Unless you don't like running. Here are the rules:

• There are 3 types of people: 1s, 2s (or Peace), and 3s.
• 1s = People who chase 2s and try to tag them.
• 2s = People who run away from 1s and try not to get tagged by them.
• 3s = People who were 1s and quit OR people who were 2s and quit OR people who weren't playing in the first place.
• The game starts with one 1. The first 1 is decided at the before the game when all players run towards a visible object reasonably far away (eg. a shed on the edge of a school property). The last player to reach the object is the first 1.
• The 1 counts to 50 (or another number) with their eyes closed and then after counting starts chasing and tagging 2s. The 2s become 1s and try to tag other 2s. Etc...
• The game ends the last 2 is caught. That player becomes the new 1 for the next game.
