Objective – To avoid being tagged by the Zombies
Learning Outcomes

- Avoiding Opponents
Set Up
- Set up a rectangle area on an open playing area.
- Select students (2-3) to start as the Zombies in the middle of the playing area.
- Students line up at one end of the playing area.
Instructions
- On go, the zombies in the middle yell ‘Go’ and the other students will attempt to run from one end to the other.
- The Zombies will attempt to tag the students as they run through the “graveyard”.
- If a student is tagged, they sit down, and become extra zombies (they sit in the position they were tagged, attempt to tag others without movies, using their hands)
- This continues until all students have been tagged.
- The student who is tagged last becomes the Zombie for the next game.
Key Rules
- Students wait until Go is called each time.
- Students become Zombies when they are tagged.
- Students must stay within sidelines when running.
Safety Considerations
- Ensure playing are is safe from hazards.
- Ensure warm up is provided prior to the activity.
- Students sit when tagged, and must cross their legs to avoid tripping other students.
Modifications
- Modify number of students in the middle.
- Modify length of the playing area.
- Instead of stationary zombies, students can walk as zombies to catch students.
