Number tag is a tag game for an even number of eight or more participants.
Equipment
You need a small object, no matter what it is.
Procedure
The players are split into two equally sized groups, that stand on opposing sides of the playing field. All players get a number assigned (for each team starting with the number 1). The object is put in the center of the playing field.
1 2 3 4 5 ... first team
X ... object
5 4 3 2 1 ... second team
The trainer then calls the number of one of the players. Both players with that number then try to get the object as fast as possible. The first player to reach (and hold!) the object earns one point for his team. After that, he can earn another point by touching the player of the other team before that can reach his team (wall) again.
After some time, the team with most points wins the game.
