3.2.2 Farmer Tag
Playing the Game
Nominate two people to be farmers and the rest of the group will become crows. The farmers must
chase the crows around a defined space trying to tag as many of them as possible. Once a crow has
been tagged by a farmer it becomes a scarecrow and must stand still with its arms held down by the
side of its body. The other crows must then try and release the scarecrows by tapping them on the
shoulder without getting touched by a farmer. If a scarecrow is released then it becomes a crow
again. The farmers must try to catch as many crows and turn them into scarecrows within a set time
period (30–60 seconds).
The game can be changed by:
• lengthening / shortening the time period
• increasing / decreasing the number of farmers
Equipment
• Large playing space (indoor or outdoor)
• Stopwatch
• Marker cones to define playing space
Safety
• Advise young athletes to be aware of others to avoid collisions.
