Setup
Split into pairs of equal stature and create a 5m square for each; pairs choose dodger (A) and tagger (B)
Step 1
Dodger (A) must evade tagger (B) by running around inside the confines of the playing area

(A) must dodge and deceive (B) to wrong-foot them

(B) must be light on their feet to react to any change of direction

(A) should stay out of corners
Step 2
(B) must tag (A) below the shoulders, and decent contact must be made by several fingers or a palm: a single fingertip doesn't count!

Every time (B) tags, they call out their tally of tags
Step 3
After 1 minute swap roles; try to beat the other player's score.

Use a (stop)watch to keep the time.
Step 4
Progression: Tags must be to the player's back/backside.

This makes it harder for the defender.
