Freeze Tag is a great game for players to work in an invasive environment. Encourage players to have their heads up and avoid all obstacles.
Description
The Coach sections the ice with cones, barriers or by drawing on the ice.
Players mill about in the designated area while the coach gives chase.
When a player is tagged then they must stop and put their arms out in a T position or are "frozen".
Another player can "unfreeze" the "frozen" player by going under one of their arms.
Increase difficulty by having players take turns being the chaser and increasing the amount of chasers.
Make sure to indicate who the chasers are by having them hold a cone or wear a pinnie.
Key Points
