Triangle Tag

Triangle Tag is an active, small group activity that can be used as a warm-up.

Directions
Have the students get into small groups of 4. One student in each group is "it". The other 3 students join hands, forming the "triangle". The "it" student then chooses which student from the triangle he or she will tag. It is the goal of the three "triangle" students to shield the chosen student from being tagged, by running as a group or staying between the chosen student and the "it" student. The triangle students cannot let go of each other's hands! If the chosen student is tagged, he or she becomes "it" and the former "it" student enters the triangle.
