Shepherd Tag

Objective: To avoid being tagged by the Shepherd or herd

Materials: None

How to Play: Choose one student to be the Shepherd and stand in the middle of the playing area. The rest of the students should line up on opposite sides of the playing area behind a designated boundary (about half the students on each side). When the Shepherd calls the sheep by shouting “Come sheep!” all the students on both sides must run to the opposite side. Any players who are tagged by the Shepherd become part of the herd and will help the Shepherd tag players in the next round. The last student or small group of students remaining are the winners.
